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

I thought about getting the mini ones, was yours Holly Lane? I don't know why alot of people have a downer on Aldi, I think it's brilliant for lots of things - though admittedly I wouldn't do a "big" shop there.

We had M and S one and creamy sauce with corvoisier absolutely gorgeous loads of nuts and fruit and cherries I am not a big fan of xmas puds having been subjected to the fat laded peak freans version of yesteryear for years when I was a kid!

Ours was amazing - very moist and the best I have ever had. It was my mum's receipe:D Well done mum. Thankfully she made a batch and although she sold lots we have another 2 left so I can eat christmas pud all year round:T

I made one using a recipe I found on here by Kethry. It was yummy and very boozy!!

We had a LIDL's one too and also found it was too nutty, couldn't enjoy the pudding for chewing the nuts!

Ours was lovely, from Asda.

Funniest thing, & an ongoing childhood memory was the year my Mum bought a mouldy Xmas pudding. Same sort of time that the Bisto advert was on saying "& Mum made the gravy"...we always say "& Mum bought the mouldy christmas pudding from the co-op"....it must have been about 20 years ago now but we talk about it every year!!!

Ours was delicious, but then that was because I made it myself -measure out a load of ingredients, stir, leave overnight, pile in a basin, steam for most of the day, wrap well, reheat on Christmas day -piece of[strike] cake[/strike]pudding. I can't see why anyone would want to buy one

Haven't got the time or the inclination for numerous reasons. They may not want the bother for something only 1 or 2 member of their family eat. The cost of the ingrediants which they may not use for anything else outweighs the cost of buying one ready made.
