Does anyone make their own or just buy one already made?

We got ours online from the UK. We had a "fancy" Canadian one last year ... not doing that again.

Up until about 4 years ago used to make one every year. Last one, pulled out christmas day and it had turned out shit and we had to bin it. Had to pinch the kids trifle

We usually have Bûche de Noël laced with Calva.

HTH.

Tried a "plum" pudding from the supermarket but it wasn't that great. An M&S pudding from the British Shop was better but 3 times the price.

Which website did you use?

Bettys. It's not exactly a cheap option.

Do they deliver to Canada?

Edit to say, by looking at the website they do but like everything here its not easy. Canada – (From November 2010 all parcels over $60.00 CAD in value delivered to Canada by courier will be subject to duty and taxes.)

Yes. It's pricey, but worth it if you like a decent christmas pud, which I do.

(and yeah, you've got to keep your order under $60 - ours came ordinary air-mail).

I thought it didn't look too bad...then I remembered it was ££ and not $$.

I was hoping M&S would do a xmas cake delivery but they don't seem to.

First year I was here I ordered one of Harrods' puds but it was no better than Sainsburys or Tesco.

I know I've left it late but I do intend to make my own one. Using the recipe my Mum always used from her 1970's Cordon Bleu cookery course.

Jamie Oliver's Nan's -it's easy to make and tastes amazing! We make it every year http://www.jamieoliver.com/forum/vie...php?pid=228336

Thank you.

My son is sending me one of these as part of my Christmas goodie box!!

Hope it's not a case of too high an expectation ...

Surely your nan makes better xmas pudding than Jamie Olivers
