A few questions.
What is the pudding? Is that chocolate? How does it stand so solid?

This is my concept of pudding

And what are pigs in blankets?

Pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon, sometimes also wrapped in pastry, sometimes also have a layer of stuffing inside. They have to be Lincolnshire pork sausages though, imo.

mmmmmmmmm..... pigs in blankets...

Yorkshire puddings! If my Christmas dinner doesn't have yorkshire puddings, I am throwing it at the wall!

Does it anger the queen? I don't want to get on her bad side, I think she has connections.

I expect Max has swan delivered to his door by Her Majesty on Christmas Morning. They're tight like that.

My sense is that the Christmas pudding is more like a cross between a fruitcake and a bread pudding.

BBC - Food - Recipes: Rich Christmas pudding

Description

Make this pudding a couple of months before Christmas day.Feed it with alchol regulary and allow the flavours to fully develop.

Ingredients

225g/8oz golden caster sugar
225g/8oz vegetarian suet
340g/12oz sultanas
340g/12oz raisins
225g/8oz currants
110g/4oz candied peel, chopped
110g/4oz plain flour
110g/4oz fresh white breadcrumbs
55g/2oz flaked almonds
1 lemon, zest only
5 eggs, beaten
1 evel tsp ground cinnamon
1 level tsp mixed spice
5g/1 level tsp freshly grated nutmeg
pinch of salt
150ml/5fl oz brandy or rum

Method

1. Lightly grease 4x600ml/1 pint or 2x1.2 litre/2 pint pudding basins.
2. Mix together all the dry ingredients.
3. Stir in the eggs and brandy and mix well.
4. Spoon the mix into basins. Put a circle of baking parchment and foil over the top of each basin and tie securely with string. Make a string handle from one side of the basin to the other so it is easier to pick the basin out of the pan after cooking.
5. Put the basins in a large steamer of boiling water and cover with a lid. Boil for 5-6 hours, topping the boiling water up from time to time, if necessary. If you do not have a steamer, put the basins in a large pan on inverted saucers on the base. Pour in boiling water to come a third of the way up the sides of the pudding bowls. Cover and steam as before.
6. Cool. Change the baking parchment and foil covers for fresh ones and tie up as before. Store in a cool cupboard until Christmas Day.
7. To serve: steam for 2 hours and serve with brandy butter, rum sauce, cream or homemade custard.

Goose is slightly more gamey than Turkey, but they are quite similar. They are also big, and may present problems if your oven is on the small side.

Bread sauce and cranberry sauce are essential ingredients, and even though I really don't like brussel sprouts, I eat them at Christmas.

Pamela Galli · 09-25-2009, 12:28 PM

Wait. Turkey? They are native to North America. Why would turkey be part of a traditional English Christmas dinner?

I expected goose. It think that's what Tiny Tim had.

Alfie Demonia · 09-25-2009, 12:28 PM

Christmas pudding is a really rich and heavy fruit cake. You're supposed to set fire to it aswell. And put money in it. Unless that was just something my mum did, she's a bit weird like that.

Heat some oil in a wok, add chopped garlic, a couple of chillis, then trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts (raw). Stir fry it and throw in some walnuts halfway through.

Much better than boiling the fuck out of them.

Ingrid N · 09-25-2009, 12:30 PM

You put something in your food that was handled by dozens of people with sweaty hands beforehand?

Britain is so civilized!

Come to think of it the actual food was probably also handled by lots of people with sweaty hands before arriving at your table

.

You know, the component parts. Not implying your mom has sweaty hands, here.

My mum used to kick it up and down the street a bit before serving it, too, for an authentic British taste.

Brought over to the UK since early colonial times. Goose is the true traditional meal (or roast beef), but turkey has long been the most ubiquitous Christmas fare.

Darkley · 09-25-2009, 12:34 PM

I cant stand christmas pudding, I used to eat it to get the 5p's out of it though

and sprouts are the DEVILS TESTICLES!

**Midi Reifsnider** · 09-25-2009, 12:35 PM

The peasants ate turkey (well when they weren't eating dry bread and water and I don't know what else) because it was cheaper than goose.

My grandfather told me that the he and his sister used to argue about how much pudding each other was given because they had their eye on the coins within it!

Jeez, I have to wash my hands every time I have handled coins, so I doubt I would enjoy a pudding that had them in!

Alfie Demonia · 09-25-2009, 12:39 PM

Well you can disinfect coins with vinegar or something, can't you?

**Midi Reifsnider** · 09-25-2009, 12:40 PM

We always wrap ours in tinfoil first. Perhaps we're just hygiene freaks.

And cranberries as well, huh. Would not have guessed that because we eat turkey and cranberries because the pilgrims and Indians did at their Thanksgiving celebration. Not sure why Christmas dinner is usually the same.

So, this is convenient for my purposes. And what about pumpkin pie? Surely not.

Pumpkin pie was not a successful export (fortunately).

Ducks taste absolutely horrible. They can make you ill too. Best avoided. Have chicken.
