It's uhhhh *checks notes*... Plum Pudding Day?

So, today is plum pudding day and I'm not going to pretend like I know what plum pudding is. While I may have never heard of plum pudding before, I know this much... it does not look appetizing to me...

What's the flavor like? Anything more common that it tastes somewhat similar to? 

 

I've had sticky toffee pudding before if it's similar to that.

ooh I'd rather have black pudding... I'm more into savory than sweet. Still I'm curious about this plum pudding; it definitely does not look like what I expected.

      No, what you posted is plum pudding. Black pudding is TOTALLY  a different thing....not sure you wanna know. LOL

      Here's a recipe for traditional plum (also called Christmas) pudding.

      While it has fruits like a fruitcake, it's nothing like it. Plus it has a lot of booze in it, and it's often served with a brandy sauce. 

       

      I can't describe what it tastes like -- it's like a boozy, dense cake.  I love it.

      Looks like meat wrapped in electrical tape!!! :smileysurprised:

       

      As for the dessert, I might have to try some plum pudding then. Is it typically served with a sauce?

        Boozy and dense, sounds like [insert your "fave" relative]!
