Yes, we did indeed have figgy pudding -- the stuff in "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" -- homemade by Helen and served with a special whipped cream sauce or with rum raisin ice cream. In Great Britain, pudding is a term that can refer to any dessert, and figgy pudding is more like a cake or like banana bread, steamed in a special mold. The picture is of a large chunk of figgy pudding, and ours looked about like that, only the figs were darker, making it look better in my opinion.Wednesday, December 26, 2007
