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.
This year im going to make Mary Berry's Christmas pudding icecream too!

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
