The recipe for a Christmas pudding is elaborate but there are so many variations - thanks to the imagination of many.
I too have my own recipe for a Christmas pudding. I do not add any silver coin or wish bone in it but instead place slips of paper each with a wish written on it. I also pour brandy over the pudding and light it, singing carols gong around it It is a family get together, Each one picks up a wish and reads it aloud that makes the whole event interesting and fun packed.
Not that I do it each Christmas but I did it only once and that was enough. There is plenty of work involved.

@LadyDuck In that novel there sure must have been a mystery involving that pudding.

@allknowing I remember an Agatha Christie novel where everybody helped to knead the dough for the Christmas pudding. In France they have a special cake for the Three Kings Day, where a coin is inserted and the one who find the coin is "Kind for one Day".

@sofssu The most important thing is you should remember to eat When we were kids we would get a plateful of goodies on Xmas eve. We kids would over eat and leave the rest here and there and forget to eat (lol)

Indians do not observe Thanksgiving Day. And as for me I am forever in the attitude of gratitude

At least you have tried it already. I wonder if there was flour with it? Did you taste it

Obviously I have tasted as I baked it myself. Plenty of dry fruits
What's Christmas without the pud? This is a plump pudding with history...
