But First A Little About The History Of The Christmas Pudding
The Christmas pudding has been around since the 14th century in its traditional form, named Figgy Pudding hence the song. This was more of a potage style, sloppy consistency that was served like a porridge. Sometimes also cooked inside a skin, a bit like a pudding sausage! However was generally served as an addition to meat dishes or as a starter.
But in Victorian times the pudding, then know as a plum pudding was wrapped in cloth into a ball shape. Then steamed or broiled and served with custard.
Also around this time the sixpence became a new addition to the Christmas Pudding mix, every member of the household was asked to stir the mix. But, the pudding was to be stirred from East to West, “clockwise”, to represent to the journey made by the Wise Men.
It was believed that whoever found the sixpence in their pudding on Christmas Day would enjoy good luck and wealth for the year ahead.
