Manjar Blanco is an alternative name for Dulce de Leche in some South American countries. In Spain, it is a milk-based pudding that is Blanc Mange in England. The most interesting fact about Manjar Blanco and Blanc Mange is that originally it was made with pounded chicken breast. The National Trust's Complete Traditional Recipe Book prints a quote from Sara Paston-Williams's Traditional Puddings: "Chaucer, in The Canterbury Tales, describes it as a mixture of 'minced capon with flour, cream, and sugar'."
The Turks have a famous dessert called "Kazandibi Tavuk Gögsü" which is a pudding made from chicken breast, milk, sugar and rice flour. And yes, it is quite tasty.
