My wife makes a superb Christmas pudding to a family recipe that goes back over a hundred years. I've never tasted anything quite as divine, and they just get better as they age. She generally makes five. Four go to friends, and one we keep back for ourselves to use the following Christmas.
Do you think you could get her to make six this year?
 
Christmas pudding and the Finest custard or thick cream are fantastic. I love Christmas; it's the only time of year I have any time off without feeling guilty. I'm already listening to Christmas songs on YouTube. Jona Lewie Stop the Cavalry is a favourite....
 
Have to admit, this one place where you UK folks are quite perplexing.
Pudding - seems to be pretty much any food except and alcoholic beverage
Bread (Yorkshire pudding) sausage (black and white puddings ) meat (steak and kidney pudding)
Custard (egg pudding), any desert (“inset name” pudding), and probably loads of other items I’m ignorant of.

Someone somewhere probably calls doughbait “carp food pudding”

Bread is not Yorkshire pudding. Bread is bread. But you can have bread & butter pudding, which is jolly nice.
Yorkshire pudding is a batter mix. Used for making toad in the hole. (aka frog in the orifice).
Nothing perplexing about that, is there?

Don't forget Babys Head pudding
 
Only if it looks like a speckled cannon-ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half of half a quartern of ignited brandy, and bedight with Christmas holly stuck into the top.

You tried spotted dick???

I shall be avoiding Christmas cake and pudding like the plague. A box of Brandy snaps for me.
 
I have my late grandmother's original Xmas pud recipe. I can remember there where six penny pieces in every slice!
Must be with brandy butter made with Lurpak butter.
I have not made them for 15 yrs but do remember hours of steaming in a pressure cooker.
