Good Evening Fabbers , Friends and Forumites.
I hope you have all had the most jolly splendid Wednesday. Happy winter solstice , as from tomorrow the days will get longer.
Oh my its been a totally crazy busy day at Santa's grotto. My self and the Elves have been jolly well rushed off our feet.
A quiet evening now , pooch and I will head out later for a rather spiffing wander later. A peaceful stroll under a canopy of stars.
So yesterday I made an early Christmas dinner. It was a delicious affair with all the trimmings and frivolity of this time of year.
I had my first ever Christmas Pudding. A liberal splash of brandy made for a wonderful pyrotechnic display lol.
It was delish with brandy butter mm mm . So very scrummy.
So my question this evening is
Do you like Christmas pud , and if not what is your seasonal alternative?
Happy Solstice
Taff and Pooch

"I love Christmas pud, and if there is any left over I fry it in butter and have it with cream.

"Hate it. It always has nuts in it or is gluten free without them. And I'm allergic to nuts so it's a no from me. "
So what would be your alternative delight |

Yes I like it, esp if home made. Have to stick coins in it wrapped in foil for people to find.
Always do a roulade too with fresh cream and raspberries as it's light.

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
Used to really love Christmas pud.
Now am finding I want a smaller portion each year.
Am happy with a selection of fruit / cheese, some Stollen, a light Christmas cake (rather than dark), not forgetting mince pies and cream. |

Mrs N, you are my dream lady if you have 3 types of brandy butter....
Pud, mince pie, brandy butter and cream. Then I need to be carried from the dinner table |

Oh yes I most certainly do.
Fond memories of finding a silver bit in one as a child ...I think I still have it somewhere.
Though it has to be the traditional Christmas pudding none of this fancy chocolate malarkey  |

I love Christmas pudding.
I'm the only one who eats it, so this year I bought a medium sized one, to last me a few days. I'll have it hot with custard, then cold with cream.
I've been given one in June before, that wasn't eaten at Christmas. |
