Christmas Pudding
Puddings began to appear in the sixteenth century. There is a legend about how such puddings came into being. One Christmas Eve an English kind lost his way in a forest. He knocked on the door of a woodman’s cottage and asked for food and shelter. The woodman was very poor, so he mixed together all the food he had in the house. The result was a mixture of flour, eggs, apples, dried, plumps, sugar and brandy. This mixture was boiled in a cloth and a delicious pudding was invented.
Puddings became the customary Christmas dessert. But in 1664 the Puritans banned it as a “lewd custom”. It was George I who, having tasted and enjoyed plum pudding, re-established it as part of the Christmas feast in 1714.
