CHRISTMAS PUDDING

History of the Christmas Pudding

Christmas Porridge - Frumenty
The Christmas pudding known today began life as Christmas porridge called Frumenty, a dish made of wheat or corn boiled up in milk.

Plum Pudding

As time went on, other ingredients, such as dried plums or prunes, eggs, and lumps of meat were added to make it more interesting. When cooked, it was poured into a dish. This pudding was called Plum Pudding. The name 'Plum Pudding' continued to be used even when people used raisins, currants, and sultanas instead of prunes.

When is the traditional time for making the Christmas Pudding?

The traditional time for making a Christmas pudding is on 'Stir Up Sunday ' at the beginning of advent. A proper Christmas pudding is always stirred from East to West in honour of the three Wise Men and traditionally made with 13 ingredients to represent Christ and His Disciples. Every member of the family must give the pudding a stir and make a secret wish.

Christmas Crackers

Christmas crackers were first invented in 1850 by a London confectioner called Tom Smith. A cracker is placed next to each plate on the Christmas dinner table. Crackers are made using a short tube wrapped in colourful paper. There is a fire cracker inside which ‘cracks’ when the cracker is pulled. There is also a gift, a paper crown and a terrible joke inside the cracker!
