They may not ship them from M&S directly, but you should be able to order one from https://www.abitofhome.ca/marks-and-...ding-454g.html Only thing is, you have to buy $29 of goods before they bother shipping them to you. A few packs of Hob Nobs perhaps??
Trouble is, having ordered and received already, anything now would be for the cake only and for the ones I want it's about $60 or more by the time it's all added up. Thanks anyway :) |

i have never liked Xmas Pudding or Xmas cake, i cant stand mince pies either:thumbdown:
But then I discovered how nice the pud is with cream and a dessert wine and how well the cake (especially an M&S one with Brandy) goes with tea and coffee. |

Why would you eat xmas cake when it's not xmas? :p
As a child I wasn't keen. I used to have the pud for the money and the cake because of the marzipan. But then I discovered how nice the pud is with cream and a dessert wine and how well the cake (especially an M&S one with Brandy) goes with tea and coffee. |
Re: Christmas Pudding?
Going to be in Cape Town for Christmas eating traditional dinner in 30deg heat! Somehow the pud lit up with brandy is not the same but at least we will have proper pud and cake. In 10 years I have not found a decent Christmas cake or pud here, until Costco opened last year and sold a very nice fruity Christmas cake! Our local supermarket (small Island chain) imports British food at this time of year, I have just stocked up on gravy granules, Masmade Marmalade (it is the pulp so you make up the marmalade) and Cadbury's chocolate! They have Cross & Blackwell Christmas puds available!

Re: Christmas Pudding?
We made a handful of them a couple of years ago and still have a couple left, maturing in the cold room and regularly soused with a bit more brandy just to make sure they don't go off.
Obviously, anybody who doesn't like Christmas pudding is a bit odd, especially with a decent spoonful or two of brandy butter to go with. My granddad introduced me to the best-ever Boxing Day treat, if there's any pud left over. Put it in the fridge overnight so it goes nice and firm, then slice quite thinly. Melt a decent dollop of brandy butter in a small frying pan and fry the pudding slices in it. As the sugar in the brandy butter caramelises, it coats the pudding in a rich, sticky, gooey layer of extra loveliness; left for just the right amount of time before eating it forms a sort of crackle toffee glaze. Serve with additional brandy butter or vanilla ice-cream. Mmmmmmm. |
Re: Christmas Pudding?
Screw waiting till xmas Ive already had one bought from Sobeys. I have one from WalMart complete with a sachet of sauce which I suspect might be given a trial run tonight. Ive still got to visit Safeway, Canadian Superstore and a host of others that sell them. I dont care how crap or good they might taste or how much Rum I have to add to a sauce isnt it the partaking that is important and the testing to see which wins out.
I mean we take several vehicles for a test drive before settling so why not xmas puddings? |

Luckily fine eating doesnt equate to fine spelling :lol:
Every year we buy one (normally ordered from Lakeland, but the shipping cost is too pricey for Canada this year) and then we are too full to eat it on the day and my husband eats the lot on his own with Ice Cream on Boxing Day....no bad thing for my waistline! |
