Recently, when I watched the British drama French Pavilion, Season 6 mentioned the Christmas pudding that would explode, and then the props came up to look like mines.
Seeing the two of our great male protagonists in his hands, I wondered, can this not be seen as fake? So I went to search for a picture of Christmas pudding...
And really... yes
The entry on wikipedia is quite detailed, http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%81%96%E8%AA%95%E5%B8%83%E4%B8%81, and sure enough, the goods originated in England...
Many families have their own Recipes for Christmas Pudding, some of which have been passed down from generation to generation through the family. Basically the recipe brings together ingredients that are traditionally expensive or extravagant – especially sweet spices are especially important in developing their unique, rich aromas, which are often used with mutton oil. It is very dark in appearance, due to the fact that most recipes contain brown sugar and brown syrup, and its cooking time is quite long. Blends can be dipped in citrus juices, brandies, and other alcoholic beverages (some recipes call dark beers, such as soft dark beers, strong dark beers, or port dark beers).
Christmas pudding, which is often hung on a hook to dry the week before serving to enhance flavor, is wrapped in traditional cloth rather than in a basin.
Until the nineteenth century, Christmas pudding in England was often wrapped in pudding cloth and boiled in a circle.[1] In the New Victorian era, it was popular to place the dough on a basin and then steam it, followed by unwinding the pudding, placing it on a plate, and decorating it with a small sprig of holly on top.
The first steaming usually takes several hours. When served, heat it up again with steaming and then place warm brandy next to it. [3] Can be served with sweet cream sauce, brandy butter, rum cream, cream, lemon cream, custard or sugary seasonings, sometimes sprinkled with fine white sugar.
For this kind of food, if your photography skills are a bit sorry, you get this...
