That's fine, but one of my guests had false teeth & literally had to pick out the nuts as there was so many

Aldi here & for the first time ever I liked it - the microwave died this year so I steamed it - and it was so different!

What are the opinions, experiences, comparisons re microwaving it? All my life it has been steamed for 3 hrs, that is practically part of Christmas!

Ours came from Poundland and was lovely, fairly light as far as Christmas puds go which suited us and the children well.

Ours was from Waitrose and I just microwaved it. Was lovely.

I got the Tesco Luxury one in the gold wrapping.

I don't like Christmas pud, but hubby and my Mam had some and said it was really nice.

Not a big fan of xmas pud but I have found a better way for me anyway.
I bought a Teeny one from M & S that was chopped up and mixed with baileys Ice cream

We had a cheap tesco version, and I really didn't like it, but I'm not sure if that's down to the quality, or the fact I can't stand cider.

We picked up a Thorntons one with some vouchers we got from a survey site - haven't had that one yet, but I can't wait to try it.

Steamed mine, it is easy as I have an AGA to just leave it in there for hours. I don't have a microwave (I'm scared of them) so can't compare.

Steamed mine as well, had used the 3 tier steamer for the carrots and broccoli then stuck the Christmas pudding in for 1 1/2 hours afterwards; really moist and light, absolutely delicious. Got ours from Morrisons this year. Only steamed it in an attempt to get the house smelling of Xmas pud .. didn't quite work out; then I forgot about the pudding so had to resteam it for 1/2 hour later on to heat it up ... still absolutely gorgeous, though!
