well, kinda relevant, for instance, this just came up:

‘The Traditional Holiday Dish of Plum Pudding has no plums in it. ‘

Really? Are you kidding me? This hit me as a bit absurd…

So I investigated.

Plum pudding is made from milk, soft bread crumbs, shortening, molasses, raisins, flour, finely chopped candied citron, ground cinnamon, baking soda, salt, allspice and cloves.

And it’s not really pudding, it’s more like a cake.

So why is it called ‘Plum Pudding’?

In the 17th century, plums referred to raisins or other fruits.

And there you have it! Get a good night’s sleep tonight, no need to toss and turn over the plum pudding question anymore,

Thank me later.
