When Victorian England reinvented Christmas alongside Coke-Cola, they added an old friend in the figgy pudding. Figgy pudding recipes stretch back to at least 1392 but were more liquid. In later centuries, they were baked and formed a skin.

Later still, Christmas pudding was set on fire or uneaten, preserved and forgotten to sit in kitchen cupboards indefinitely.

Did you know?
On the Sunday before Advent, Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria had the family gathered in the kitchen to help make the Christmas pudding. A silver sixpence was placed into a pudding mix and every member of the household gave the mix a stir. Whoever found the sixpence in their own piece of the pudding on Christmas Day would see it as a sign that they would enjoy wealth and good luck in the year to come.
