Geography lesson for @Page Scrawler, because apparently he needs it.

This is North Texas. 👇

And to think, I was about to remove this attachment to free up some space, but it still has its uses.

Sad news on the Christmas pudding front - the Lions club where we normally get them is not selling them this year  A long held family tradition broken 

So I need to find a replacement… internet to the rescue  our national consumer advice body has done a survey of Christmas puddings and custard. Problem solved

So is "Christmas pudding" one of those Yorkshire pudding type things where it's really just like bread kind of?

Hey Spike!  I tried a Christmas pudding sold at a supermarket here.  It was a little like fruitcake but better.  It had nuts and dried fruits in it, but it was a darker cake and not as heavy as a fruit cake.  It may not be the same as Bucket's version.  Thais make copies of things, but they are way different than usual.

Hi Bucket!  Glad to see the family tradition will survive!

Hey Phi Chai!  That's my problem, whenever anyone outside the US mentions pudding, I literally never have any idea what they're actually eating.

At least with custard, cake, or pie, I have some idea.

Ummm… no. It is about 50% fruit and is served hot with custard. Definitely more cakey than bready. I agree with Terry, it’s like fruit cake but not as dense. In the old country, it often has a brandy sauce that is set alight. Too much of a fire hazard here

Back in the olden days, my grandmother used to make her own and boiled them for ages, the kitchen was hot and steamy. They tasted awesome but there was a serious cost for summer. Then someone invented the microwave  now the puddings are all precooked and a quick zap heats them to perfection without turning the house into a sauna

I am amazed that it has a consumer rating 

It's a bit far from the usual fridge recommendations and recalls on electrical goods.

It almost sounds like a Baked Alaskan, but with fruit in it.  Only that isn't served with custard.  I've never known how to describe what a Baked Alaskan is, but almost like an English pudding I guess.  I only had it once when I was 9-years-old, but it's stuck with me.

So even @Drew Espinosa can make a Christmas pudding?

I know we had a bit of controversy about pineapple on pizza and I understand that people have some views on the matter. However if you want to get people really fighting, ask about iced versus un-iced Christmas cake (really just fruit cake for Christmas)

No, definitely not. However he would be capable of heating the precooked varieties.

And if you want to be a bit clever, you slice it first and then heat it. It cuts so much better that way
