So, as a Brit, I should know what figgy pudding is. I'm not sure I do and this hideously nauseating creation might be close to one, but it's not quite the same thing. Nevertheless, I'm sure many Brits will agree that Christmas pudding is the most disgusting thing you can put on the table for Christmas lunch. Traditionally, you pour brandy over it and set it on fire. I suspect that came from attempts to burn the thing to a crisp so no one could eat it. The only good thing about it is you could feed a family of twenty on it for a week given how dense it is - think of a block of lead - that's if they could even stomach it. If you need food in a hurricane/earthquake emergency kit, think Christmas pudding. Just make sure it's not in a place where it might fall on you because it will take you down - and probably the neighbors below you if you're in a condo.
Also, in the bad old days, you would hide a shilling in the pudding somewhere so some poor sod could break a tooth biting on it. It was supposed to bring you luck. Seriously? Starting the new year with a dentist's bill is not good luck.
Have a great holiday season!
