What is "Christmas pudding"?
Christmas pudding is a traditional British dessert that is typically served during the Christmas season. It is made with a mixture of dried fruits, such as raisins, currants, and candied peel, as well as breadcrumbs, eggs, suet, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The mixture is then steamed for several hours until it is well-cooked and has a dense and moist texture. Christmas pudding is often served with a brandy or rum sauce, and is sometimes flamed with alcohol for added drama. The dessert is known for its rich and complex flavors, which are a result of the combination of dried fruits and spices, and is often garnished with holly leaves or other festive decorations.
