Upon my return at-long-last home found a box from my amazon wishlist which included, from some kind soul, 2 pudding basins!
I once tried (successfully) to make a pudding with an improvised setup. It was a anxious experience.
This time I want to do something particular.
RESOLVED: I shall make an English Christmas Pudding.
I have already found a suet supply.
I will eventually need to obtain sprigs of holly. It won’t grow here in this drastic place.
Now: I must look for recipes!
In the meantime, here are images from a book I recall from my distant childhood, depicting “Max” preparing what I now at long last understand to be The Christmas Pudding! As a kid I had always wondered what he was making.
Any resemblance to hamsters on sidebars is entirely intentional.
