It's delicious... especially with brandy butter and cream.
Dont get ne wrong... I live all the alternatives like trifle, oavlova and chocolate log but you cannot beat Christmas pud.

Because it's horrible!

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 19/12/2016 18:31

Do you mean LIKE christmas pudding, as you put dislike...?

littleshirleybeans · 19/12/2016 18:33

I hate it. My mum and dad seem surprised every year when I say I don't want any.
I'm 48. I've never eaten it.

Wookiecookies · 19/12/2016 18:33

Because it contains the mankiest combination of boak-worthy ingredients. It is like a weird form of christmas punishment.

BiscuitCapitalOfTheWorld · 19/12/2016 18:33

Only edible when fried IMHO.

Wookiecookies · 19/12/2016 18:34

My DH loves it, weirdo.

ThomasHardyPerennial · 19/12/2016 18:34

It's horrible, and so are mince pies!

Wookiecookies · 19/12/2016 18:35

Mince pies and christmas cake can fuck the fuck off too. Xmas Grin

ProudBadMum · 19/12/2016 18:35

It's rank. Mum buys one every year yet no fucker eats it.

Wookiecookies · 19/12/2016 18:35

Ha! X post thomas!!

AVirginLitTheCandle · 19/12/2016 18:37

Because it's ick.

As are mince pies...

Not really keen on turkey either...

Shoot me 😑🔫

Wookiecookies · 19/12/2016 18:37

Whenever I have eaten it, I felt like someone had a personal vendetta against my taste buds.

GraceGrape · 19/12/2016 18:38

I love it. After Christmas, I go and buy them heavily reduced in the shops and eat some more!

DustyMaiden · 19/12/2016 18:39

I like it, but it's so heavy, too filling.

PoochSmooch · 19/12/2016 18:39

If it's so great, why do people only have it once a year, hmmm?

Because it's horrid. Sticky, nasty, over fruity, lumpen ball of ming!

Wookiecookies · 19/12/2016 18:39

I hate malt loaf too, its basically just stealth christmas pudding, disguised as a cake.

StillMaidOfStars · 19/12/2016 18:39

Grim. And mince pies.

In fact, anything with high density dried fruit.

Which is odd, as I like dried fruit in muesli.

toffeeboffin · 19/12/2016 18:40

I flipping love Christmas pud. With Brandy butter, vanilla ice-cream, snarffle snarffle.

cushioncovers · 19/12/2016 18:44

It's yuck as are mince pies and Christmas cake. I detest them all.

Ohtobeskiing · 19/12/2016 18:46

I love it but I don't like brandy butter!

KnittedBlanketHoles · 19/12/2016 18:46

Fried? Did I read that right, fried?

MadisonMontgomery · 19/12/2016 18:46

It's foul, we have sticky toffee pudding for Christmas lunch.

backwardpossom · 19/12/2016 18:47

I like that a lot of people dislike it. More for me.

I like it with ice cream AND custard. AMAZING.

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 19/12/2016 18:49

Mmm Christmas Pudding Xmas Grin
