Fruit has no place in any dessert/pudding

That might be the most controversial post on here (and after the last 24hrs, that's saying something!!)

Brandy butter, food of the gods with Xmas pudding or warm mince pies. Brandy butter must be home made and hold the absoute maximum of good brandy in the mix.

@scrumbag right or not?

No one else in the house will eat Christmas pudding. But as cook of every Sunday roast through the rest of the year I treat myself to a small one. Equal quantities of pudding and extra thick double cream that you have to chisel out of the pot (semi skimmed milk only on anything the rest of the year)

Christmas pud with cold custard and cream lush.
Christmas cake no marzipan or icing crap but a nice chunk of tasty cheese proper good.

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”

Also pullya pudding.

There is a breed of pig in the UK called the Oxford Sandy & Black, which is colloquially known as "the plum pudding pig".
Although your pet isn't an OS&B, I'm guessing she may be similarly named?

I doubt I will read anything more controversial than this for the rest of my life. No fruit in a dessert? Ahhhh man, I love fruits in desserts. What about all manner of crumbles? Or the humble strawberry? That goes so well in so many sweet dishes. I even like fruit salad lathered in whatever cream is available.

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?

As a child we called it frog in the pit. One of my absolute favourite feel good meals. Call me a heretic but I like it with tomato sauce rather than gravy and onions, although I certainly would not turn down onions and gravy if nothing else were available.

I think if I was on death row and I had one last meal, toad in the hole would be a contender.

Definitely. Best served on Boxing Day. Slices of cold pud fried in butter then served with advocaat poured over it

I can hear those arteries hardening all the way over here in Oxfordshire!

Yeah nice pigs OSB.

Do you know the story behind the spot on a GOS? I love tales like this

Yep our kune is called Pudding. I actually renamed her - when she arrived she was called Blair (???). As I got to know her, I realised she wasn't a war mongering narcissist, so I changed her name.

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.

Does she take orders? Asking for a friend

"Veinetta"?? Sounds like a slice of frozen, amputated, varicose-ridden, cellulite thigh.

Veinetta.....Waynetta.....

Bah Humbug is all i have say about Christmas.

It’s a Rock I will perish on

I approve of a man with conviction but this is a road too far. Get yourself a soft cushion to make that rock a little more comfy.

And a punnet of strawberries

I have put it as "Essential" (But it has to have lashings of Brandy Butter) even though I will not be having any this Christmas as it is not within what is allowed on my diet!
(I have gone from 15st 4lb down to just inside the 13 stone bracket, and 13 stone is my target to hit by Christmas)

Mind you I guess that I could take a break from the diet just for the one day, after all I would not want to be a "Party Pooper", would I?

It’s a Rock I will perish on

If you ate some fruit, or other fibre, the rock might soften and then you'd be able to pass it rather than perish on it.
