What is a plum pudding?
In the U.K. plum pudding is also called Christmas pudding since it is served with Christmas dinner. Believe it or not, it contains NO PLUMS! Plums used to be the term used for raisins. The pudding has a lot of dried fruit in it held together by egg and suet and sometimes moistened by molasses and flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and other spices. The pudding is aged for a month or longer -- that's because they drench it in alcohol. My grandma used to say it was too drunk to spoil. She would wrap it well, put it in the pantry and leave it there for an entire year, or until she got the hankering for some "pud".

Why is fat used in Christmas pudding instead of oil?
Recipes for Christmas pudding usually call for suet. "Regular" fat or oil melts pretty easily (at low temperature). Suet, the solid fat from beef or mutton, won't melt until up around 70 degrees or so. The suet, which is used as a binder for the other ingredients, won't liquify and run all over at steaming and serving time. Bon appétit!

What is White Pudding?
White pudding or Oatmeal Pudding is a meat dish popular in the north-east of England, Scotland, Ireland, as well as Newfoundland. It is also consumed in Cornwall, where it is known as Hog's Pudding. It is very similar to black pudding, but does not include blood. Consequentially, it consists of pork meat and fat, suet, bread, and oatmeal formed into the shape of a large sausage. Earlier versions (pre-1990) often had brain matter (sheep) added as a binding agent. In Scotland, White pudding can also be known as Mealy Pudding. It consists of suet, oatmeal, onions and spices. Scottish white pudding does not contain meat. Many versions are suitable for vegetarians, in that they contain no animal fat, vegetable fat being used instead. The pudding may be cooked whole, or cut into slices and fried. It is an important feature of the traditional Irish breakfast. White pudding (as well as its black and red relatives) is also served battered at chip shops in Scotland as an alternative to fish (see fish and chips). When served this way, accompanied by chips, it is known as a White Pudding Supper. In Scotland, it is also a traditional companion to mince and tatties.
