This year we are expected to consume 25 million Christmas puddings, often wrapped in plastic or cardboard, and then bin some 740,000 portions of it. (Similarly, we’ll bin some 7.5 million mince pies.)
We asked: “does anyone actually like Christmas Pudding or is it an old-fashioned tradition that is on its way out?”
Rachel – “I’ve never tried it and don’t want to. I just don’t like the look of it and I don’t like raisins. I’d rather have Galaxy or Dairy Milk. There’s usually about eight of us for Christmas dinner and most of us don’t like it.”
Q: Is Christmas Pudding on its way out? – Yes.
Jack – “I’ve tried it once. Don’t really remember it – it looks bitter and I’ve got a sweet tooth. It looks like mud. We generally have about eight or nine for Christmas dinner, and everyone eats it except me. My sister would try it. I think a Yule log is much better.”
Q: Is Christmas Pudding on its way out? – No, it’s here to stay, people like tradition. I still like watching it being flambéd, I just don’t eat it
Cameron – “If it’s shop-bought it’s a bit naff but if it’s homemade it’s quite nice. My aunt Rachel makes it a month in advance, she doesn’t put any peel in it because no-one likes that. We set it alight with brandy. There’s usually about 11 of us for Christmas and everyone has it.”
Q: Is Christmas Pudding on its way out? – No, but the shop-bought ones have had their day
Britta – “I’ve not tried it. But I’ve just googled it and it looks unappetising. On Christmas we have roast ham and meatballs, and boiled potatoes with no butter. For pudding we have traditional Swedish Christmas toffee, Knäck. My sister always makes it.”
Q: Is Christmas Pudding on its way out? – I can’t really say
