You said you'd feed me brandy and Christmas cake

[venta]

Of course, the other day's question about my leftover red wine missed the most important detail. So did I until now. There was me worrying about red wine when there was also leftover prosecco in the fridge (slack bastards, my dinner guests, never finish anything).

Anyway, I'm now addressing the issue. It's not as fizzy as it might be, but is otherwise surprisingly decent.

However: settle an important conundrum for us, will you?

I want to know what you think is usual to put on Christmas pudding. Not necessarily what you want on your pud, or that weird thing that your family's done for years, but the list of things you might consider it customary to offer, or put, on Christmas pud. (Why yes, the use of the pejorative word "normal" in the poll does indicate that I have an axe to grind ;)

[Poll #1948620]

If, like me, your answer is different based on whether the pud is hot or cold, this one is being served hot.

If my Grandma was serving, she'd quite often forgo the whole sauce thing and just pour whatever alcohol she had to hand neat over the thing (this is after alcohol had been added and the thing set alight and only if the pudding had survived being set alight, which it often didn't). My Mam felt this actually helped numb the pain once she'd discovered that Gran'd put five pence pieces in the pudding without telling anyone again and was waiting for the dentist.

I've never heard of non-alcholic stuff to put on Christmas pudding. It doesn't sound right...
