Mine will be the traditional christmas pud and custard. I have had Christmas pud with mint-choc ice cream or thick whipped cream in the past, but the brandy sauce mixes never appealed to me.

When I was growing up, Christmas dinner was always a duplicate of our Thanksgiving menu; so we had pumpkin and mincemeat pies for dessert.
After getting married there came a time when I always served red velvet cake. Then I switched to "Spice Dream Cake" with coffee ice cream. I made orange raisin steamed pudding one time, but my husband accidentally put my recipe in the trash; it was jotted down on the back of another paper. One of our children hated raisins anyway.

Ours is usually cheesecake or when I was younger on the Italian side we always had tons of cannolis.

I always made one in November and kept lacing it with rum until I iced and decorated it. Last time I made it though was 3 years ago.
However, since I got married (English husband) we've always had Christmas pudding for dessert which is very similar in taste and texture .....and the Christmas cake was for like whenever ..:tree:

I sure hope "pud" means something different where you are from.

"Pud" is short for pudding. A steamed pudding is solid like banana bread, if you've ever had that. Most of us don't sit around in the gutter reading the Urban dictionary.

Yes, I received your PM. I belong to several Christmas forums and people normally have the decency to keep their vulgar language to themselves. I didn't wish you any ill will; I just find vulgar language offensive and I hope I'm not the only one who does.
