Plum pudding is also known as figgy pudding or Christmas pudding, which is why some think this is a confusing time to celebrate this food holiday. It's also odd that plum pudding contains no plums...that's because raisins were often called "plums" in 17th century Great Britain. It's a steamed or boiled concoction and features nutmeg, raisins, nuts, apples, cinnamon, and dates. To add another layer of misunderstanding, many Americans won't find it to be what they think of as pudding either. In British tradition, the word "pudding" can describe an impressively wide range of dishes, from savory to sweet, and it often points to a method or format rather than a specific texture. So if you're interested is piqued and you've never tried plum pudding...today is your day!
