First of all I want to wish you all a very Happy, paceful, healthy New Year.

Now, snatches of a song, I think it could be a Christmas carol, has been going round & round in my brain...can't remember title or most words, the few I do recall sound so demanding and rude.lol " we all want some piggy pudding..etc. so bring some out here"...what IS piggy pudding, can anyone enlighten me please.

Figgy pudd'n.

The original Christmas pudding.

One of my neighbours made some a few years ago and it was delicious.

She gave me the recipe and I am full of good intentions with regard to it!

It is basically the origins of our Christmas Pudding, when it was probably a far lighter colour and less rich.
