ADR, are you gonna make a Christmas pud?

Yes I really want to try it. I think the kids would have fun with it... even if they aren't really "kids" anymore... ;-)
 
Isn't Christmas pudding made with suet? What the hell is suet anyway?

Enquiring minds want to know....

Now, now before you get excited Pud = pudding!!!


To clarify, pud by itself means "pudding" and it isn't too nasty that way. Most folks you meet would not be offended if you said pud, especially prefaced by words like "Yorkshire".

However, to "pull your pud" is a kind of out of date term for male masturbation, roughly equivalent to "beat your meat." Like the discussion on one of those serious threads on the other side about words we're not supposed to say, a lot depends on context and intonation. ;)

True story...

So I was living in Edinburgh and was invited over to a friend's house for Christmas. Being a good guest, I offered to bring something with me. Anything, really. So they told me to get a Christmas pudding. So the next day I walk into Tescos and go to the seasonal aisle to get this thing. I see them and to me they're all looking really small. I mean, I didn't really know what a Christmas Pudding was, but I had assumed it was kinda like Custard or whatnot. So I'm looking at them all and they're all so small, so I ask a Tesco employee if they have anything bigger. So the woman points to one and says that size is the biggest, but I'm not convinced it would be enough for 4 people. But I get it anyways and look on the back. It's apparently enough to feed 12-16 or something like that but again I'm thinking this are very small portions. So I pick it up anyways and bring it over to the house for the dinner. I show them the pudding and EVERYONE starts freaking out over how big it is! I'm like, c'on though, this will be a piece of cake to eat. Kinda like cake.

So to make a long story short. We ended up having to throw out about 3/4 of it. I had no idea it was so rich!!! It was good, but it realy sat like a brick in my stomach.

Its a bit like a Chealsea Bun but roasted in dripping or white lard instead of baked. the dough is a bit like a doughnut but heavier cos it has yeast in it.
I used to eat three slices for morning tea at the Rover Car Factory in Solihull when I was a teenager (tupence a slice).

Dough, sultarnas, mixed peal and lots of scrunchie fatty sides, cos its rolled up like a chealsea bun. Oh don't torture me any more!

I don't like cake, but my ex loved this stuff.
Once when we were arguing I threw a large piece of lardy cake at him, luckily it missed but it bounced wonderfully well off the wall and didn't crumble when it landed either.....ahh the bad old days lol

Fatty and sugary! lol
 
I get Sky (UK TV) in my flat.

Can't say I find too many of their shows entertaining - beyond the comedy.

Funnily enough, they show tons of American programming in their prime time slots.

I can't stand most of those either.

*sigh*

But I do love the ultmate UK Export - and that would be the Englishman.

:D

(Welshmen are alright.. when they aren't speaking that impossible language of theirs.. :p )

I realize that because I am over the age of 50. The youngsters around here would not.
