During the carol, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," this desert is referenced, with the repeating phrase, "We won't go, until we get some." I have never understood all the fuss!!!!!!!!!!
Figgy pudding, to me, bears a strong resemblance to fruit cake. As I recall the fruit cakes of my Christmas youth, not only did I not like them, I could not eat one, if I wanted to.
Picking one up felt like lifting a cinder block, as did cutting into a piece. And biting into one was liable to cause tooth loss, being so hard!!!!!!!!
But there was a fruit cake I sampled, at my local Brooklyn Market, that was as moist and yummy as anything I could have wished for. I would go back and buy it in a second, and I very well may, today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alas, I am not really culinary. So someone, please explain, just what the hell is figgy pudding???????????????????
Does anyone make it, anymore?????????????????
