Re: xmas puds

I love xmas pud, daughter hates them she likes sherry trifle instead.

Re: xmas puds

Jean we always had trifle as well, that was for Christmas teatime when eveyrone was still full of lunch

Re: xmas puds

I also still have a pudding left from last year. I think as you get older a Christmas pudding seems too rich and heavy. I always keep one in if we have visitors though.

I always make my own Christmas cake though.

Re: xmas puds

One of my big hates is sherry trifle. Strange cos I love a glass of sherry but the combination just makes me feel sick. Don't like the texture of the soggy sponge fingers at the bottom of trifle anyway so definitely not one for me.

Re: xmas puds

Is your Christmas pudding like a fruit cake? If so, I dislike them, full of rum and weird colored candied fruit, green and red ........

Re: xmas puds

Its similar apart from the vividly coloured fruit. Mostly raisins and sultanas with some cherries and nuts and usually laced with rum or brandy. It is traditional to pour brandy over it and set light to it when it is served. I love it

Re: xmas puds

Joe doesnt like Christmas pud but I have an individual one from M&S, dont know yet what we are eating this Christmas,usually its Salmon.Unless Adrian comes then he will cook dinner as he has a healthy appetite.

Re: xmas puds
