Thoughts? I love Yorkshire pudds, I'll have it with jam sometimes.
Edit: Don't worry guys, Yorkshire pudds were always on the plate, it's just something she says every year.
We are having a family debate. I do not feel that they are right - I love Yorkshire’s, and I will love the traditional Christmas dinner (Turkey, pigs in blankets, potatoes, sprouts in bacon etc etc), but slightly extended family who add them in. For me the Christmas and Yorkie Pud combination is a ‘No’.
I'm all for yorkshires on my dinner! But this is a highly debated topic for my family and I wanted to see what the results were for other families.
Fellow countrymen, I find myself in a predicament. I find myself down the local watering hole with a few of the chaps, and the topic of Christmas dinner has arisen. I strongly believe that it is not a Christmas dinner without a few Yorkshire puds on your plate and need your help. Thoughts?
I know it's two weeks since Christmas but I feel like I didn't get my fill of Christmas pud this year and I'm trying to find one - anyone seen any in the shops still?
Seems like people either just buy theirs from the supermarket or elsewhere instead of making them.
I usually get home made Christmas pudding. I'm working in the kitchen. And they're over there tempting me. What about you guys?

"Across December [2020], the most popular recipe was for gingerbread men, with over 400k visitors looking to bake the festive treat. There’s no surprise to see turkey leftovers creep into everyone’s festive menu once Boxing Day comes, with turkey curry and leftover turkey and ham pie two of the most sought-after recipes when the festive cheer starts to subside."

American here and I want to start to incorporate some traditions such as Christmas Crackers and Christmas Pudding. You guys did not let me down on the Heinz bean adventure so I was wondering what is your recipe for Christmas Pudding? Any other suggestions from what to put in Christmas Crackers to just tradition you have would be amazing.
Update 1: I couldn’t find suet but we have vegetable shortening and candied peel I am making from scratch we do not have it here. More to come I will post pictures of the progress
Update 2: it is in the steamer! Not sure how to attach pics of the progress?
Hi!
I am an expat and will spend Christmas with my familiy in my home country. However, I have heard about Danish people eating rice pudding for Christmas and I would love to try some! Do you have any restaurant suggestion I could check out in November or December? I saw Kronborg serving it but only as a part of their julefrokost. Can I get rice pudding only somewhere? Thank you :)
Also - I am on the ever-lasting hunt for good hot chocolate. Tried Peter Beier (good hot chocolate and value if you get the deal with three pralines), la glace (fantastic! but super pricey) and Cafe Norden (disappointing). Any suggetions on hot chocolate will be much appreciated too!
Hello all! I'm unexpectedly going to be in the US over the Christmas period and, being British, would quite like a traditional Christmas pudding. I'm not local to the area, so was wondering if anyone on this sub has any recommendations?
I'm also very much open to travelling further afield in New England, prefer to give business to smaller independent bakers.
Suggestions welcome!
Anyone seen these bad boys around? I know options are prob limit after the Christmas but trying to source one for my sick dad.
Thanks!!!
Expecting a few heathens to wade in saying they don't belong on a Christmas Dinner plate anyway
Hello, I'm a Canadian.
Many years ago, my mother had a pen pal in Outback. Specifically where, I haven't the faintest notion.
One year, as part of a Christmas gift exchange with her pen pal was a Christmas pudding of a sort, a whisky cake. It was quite good.
Anyways, the cake supposedly quite a nice gift, and that an Australian tradition was to give one of these cakes to very close friends as they took quite a long time to age properly, and therefore they weren't just given out.
These puddings were supposed to be made in June or July, and then hung in a pantry or larder, and monthly? A shot of whisky was to be soaked into the wrapping/cake/pud.
Can anyone perhaps shed some light onto this mystery pudding for me? A recipe, a story, clarification?
Just got it out to get my schedule in order and there are two options...
Microwave for 2.5 mins...
Steam for 2 hours?
Does anybody actually do the latter and does it taste better for it?
