I got Conor xmas pudding as part of his gift this year. It’s pretty classic in Australia and England. It was my first time trying it, and boy is it tasty, especially with custard and brandy. There’s something inescapably wartime about eating a dessert made from soaking fruit in cheap spirits, wrapping them up in cloth, and hanging the bundle from your kitchen ceiling for a year, not to mentioning having to steam it on the stove for several hours before you can eat it. I’d love to try to make it some year.
