Tastes best when dipped in petrol and then set alight.

Originally made in the 14th century with temder pieces of mutton, yum yum.

far too heavy and cloying at the end of such a big meal for me. I always have something my mum makes called Snow Queen, which consists of thick cream, brandy, sugar and meringues broken up, all placed in the freezer. It's bloody lovely, especially with a few raspberries.

But raspberries = summer fruit! Xmas pudding is probably not a good idea in general especially as everyone seems to have a story involving a pissed dad, too much brandy and a flaming tablecloth / holly.

Mum always manages to get hold of raspberries for me around Christmas, dunno how. She also always refused to set light to the xmas pudding, her reasoning was not safety based but in fact that it was a waste of booze.

You're all nuts! Christmas pud is the bestest thing ever. But only with brandy dip NOT brandy butter (tho' without the latter we would have been deprieved of the funiest bit in Bottom evah).

I can honestly TAKE OR LEAVE xmas pudding, if a good CHEESE COURSE was offered instead I would prefer to take that. The best way to have it is with custard but then again I'm not classy. Mmmmmm hot custard. I had cravings for COLD CUSTARD once but the Shop by Luffbra Junction sold me GORN OFF CUSTARD ew which I could not eat. Ahem where was I? It's slightly too much for me also I prefer the BRANDY in larger quantities than can be managed with the puddin'. Also I would take another ROAST SPUD course over the christmas pud. Still it is CLASSIC even if I only eat a bite before clamouring for CHEESE.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm roast spud course. lovely concept. My Mum makes fantastic stuffing too, out of bread, onions and herbs, lovely with plenty of gravy on.

I think we need to make this 'Xmas pudding vs. fruitcake = FITE.'

Oh just stuff your bellies and sleep it off. Christmas pud = classic. Cheese course = classic. Extra spuds = classic. HAVE ALL THREE.

mmmm. christmas pudding. I love Christmas pudding. Ideally you should have it with *cream*. And not whipped *cream* either, just nice pouring *cream*.

― DV, Tuesday, 18 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom is correct. Eat everything!

― RickyT, Tuesday, 18 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like them when they are on fire. But I will not eat them unless heavily doused in custard.

― james, Tuesday, 18 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Erm... everything? Eat everything except the sprouts.

Christmas pud = quite nice but I never feel like eating any more after the main course. It's also not nearly as classic as brandy snaps, stollen, lebkuchen and pfeffernusse, Turkish delight, orange and lemon slices... mmmm Christmas. Maybe I should ask for new trousers for Christmas, I fear none of the current pairs will fit by January.
