A brief history of Christmas pudding

[Jodi]

Ok, I lied. There are breadcrumbs in my grandmothers recipe. Currants, sultanas, raisins, breadcrumbs, suet, flour, candied peel, almost, spices, lemon juice, eggs, and alcohol.

My edit function is whacked again, Almonds, no almost. And I’m pretty sure I added sugar.

I don’t know if I have ever had Christmas pudding before.

None of the various sides of my family have any British traditions. All either Italian or Japanese.

Except for the fact that my mother always like a to make pork and sauerkraut on new years — where the heck did that come from??

I know a lot of people who do pork ribs and sauerkraut on New Year's Day.

@wtg

Will you be bring it to the table flaming?

[wtg]

It's amazing how many of our holiday traditions are reflected in the foods we prepare....

@Steve-Miller - I was thinking about putting the hard sauce on after I heated the pudding. Not sure if pouring some alcohol on and flaming it would be too much.
