Brits: Christmas Pudding?

[Boris Godunov]

So a friend of mine here is slightly obsessed with Victorian England, and she has invited me to a "Dickens Christmas Dinner" she's having next weekend. She crowed in her invite that she was going to make an as-authentic-as-possible boiled Christmas Pudding.

Who has had this, and should I expect to be clandestinely spitting it out into my napkin? The wikipedia entry doesn't look promising. Suet?

I feel rather blindsided by this, as she asked me if I was free for dinner BEFORE mentioning her little theme.

They are great, it is not Christmas without the traditional pudding, sorry you have never had a real Christmas, enjoy it

Too late do I realize my mistake of asking British people about matters of culinary taste...

[Al B. Sure!]

Both of those guys are Australians, Boris.


I can't help you. I've never been offered or ate "Boiled Christmas Pudding". Don't the British make it out of cow's blood or something? It might not taste bad, though.

[Boris Godunov]

I wasn't referring to them specifically. It was just a general musing.

But then again, they do still worship the queen.

[Al B. Sure!]

Oh wait I have had it before. Once I googled it I realized I did when I was younger. I don't recall what I thought of it though. I think I didn't really like it but it wasn't some horrid abomination.



It was called Plum Pudding. Have you had it, Boris?

[Asher]

I've had this a lot, and it's not bad at all.

It's great on a cold winter's day.

It's interesting how Americans have shed away so many British cultural artifacts but the Canadians and Australians hold onto them.

[giblets]

You just noticed that?

I would think that the OP inquiry is sufficient answer to this question. Are you retarded, for reals?

You'll see.
