I've ended up with a mouthful in the past.
It's usually accompanied with a pain in whichever knee or elbow I land on first. Christmas pudding also does not cause that pain.

Pudding is different to fruitcake...more like a big crumbly raisin soaked in alcohol. Good puddings shouldn't be cakey, but dense, dark, moist and yet still crumbly. And the taste is probably best described as dark and fruity with hints of brandy. Many people don't like it when they first try it. I'll have to see if I can bring one of my mother's efforts to one of these virtual cake exchange threads.

You don't like raisins, you're indifferent towards tea and coffee...
Oh well, all the more for me.

I wonder if I can crowbar christmas pudding into my daily routine alongside cups of tea and coffee?

Maybe it's me who's odd.
My family just don't do those things.
The extended family do.
