If Christmas Pudding was nice, people would have them more than once a year and wouldn't need to drown it in brandy and creme.
OH MY DAYZ, last christmas, I had a real hankering for marks'n'sparks brandy cornish clotted creme over microwaved mince pies.

Today, this evening, I shall recreate this pleasure.

Christmas pudding is delicious
Christmas dessert of choice, though people unbelievably opted for cheesecake last year

I wonder if you could combine cheesecake and christmas pud?
For the last, like, 5 years, I've wanted to try frying christmas pudding in butter. I saw Heston Bloomingtile do it, but the thing is, all the left overs end up going to Debs and Aunty Barbera, and even though I'm one of the "Single people who lives by themselves", I _never_ get left overs, and I'm growing very very bitter about the whole thing. Like, seriously bitter. Last year I sliced off some really crispy bits of fat on the duck, then put them behind all the bottles of pickles in the fridge, and STILL they went missing. 4 years in a row now I've been neglected. AND WHATS WORST, right, is that Aunty Sonya (Deb's mum) declaired last year that Debs was supposed to get all the spare duck because Sonya bought it.

Even though I bought and made an entire course, I was to be a second class citizan in my own mother's house.

I've given up expecting any leftovers this year, they can take the lot for all I care, don't cry for me, I'm already dead inside.

You should come for dinner at my in laws instead,
You can spend the entire dinner staring at my sister in laws knockers and drinking wine.

Do you have mulled wine? I love that stuff, tastes like spicy ribeena.

I have these mulled wine teabags
that I bought in France where they take that shit seriously. You just pour in your wine, add some sugar, add a teabag or two and warm it up.

Oh man, yes please.
And do you think that Marks'n'Sparks have started doing their chocolate port yet? I'll bring some of that if they do. I bought two bottles last year, but Sexface drank them both and didn't replace them.

Oh god, I really sound like a whiney "OH WOE IS ME, I'M SO HARD DONE BY" person today.

We got some Mulled Wine Tea from Whittards last year
It's lovely stuff

The thing is, they know that I'm really funny about eating in front of people, and that I can't really eat a lot in one go...
... that I normally have my meal over a few hours, just grazing, rather than scoffing the lot. I can't eat lots of food 'en mass. So I make up my plate, and have some, and then leave it for a bit, have a fag, have a bit more... so the left overs are more important to me because I've only had like 1/4 of a meal. But the other "Aww, moi pour baybi, live by your own? No love in your life? Well, here's a plate of cold food, that might make things better"ers get to stuff their gobs TWICE.

You could just ask for them?
And I've had Christmas pudding cheesecake. It was okay, not brilliant though.

Alternatively, pile your plate with three times the amount, eat what you like and clingfilm the rest

That's the thing ! I do !
I ask for them, I talk about them, I say what I want to do with them, talk about them for ages and ages.

I agree
I can't stand the stuff, although it is far better than standard fruit cake.
