Matthew Walkers Classic Christmas Pudding - 800g - 28.2oz

This is indeed a pretty classic Christmas pudding. It's hard to get anything of the kind edible in the U.S., I've tried various, and this one tastes like what I'd get at a supermarket in the U.K. It's not homemade but it does bring a taste of home.

Hard to get a plum pudding after your mum had boiled one every year. This was yummy. Was moist and very fruity. Loved it will buy again. Best cold. Yumm

Microwaved as directed, allowing for proper cooling, and the result was delicious. Lathered in brandy butter resulted in a crazy good 'figgy pudding' as we call it here. A Christmas tradition come alive. "We won't go until we've got some..."

I bought this to take to my mother-in-laws at Christmas so the family could taste a little traditional English Christmas Pudding. I personally didn't like it as a child (I am English), but as an adult I now have an appreciation for this rather tasty pudding (which really isn't a pudding). It was moist and delicious, but don't over heat in the microwave. If I had the time, I would have heated it the old fashioned way, by steaming it. I will definitely be buying again. Goes great with either Devonshire Custard or Bird's Eye Custard.

These are fine if you are going to eat them on your own, you glutton! but I would be cautious about serving them to guests. For example, I'd prepare at least one on my own before I would serve it to guests. I think the fruit is fine. But they're a bit dry. And this is unpleasant, unless you properly hydrate them. Yes, I know, that's why you steam them before serving. But because they start out so dry, steaming is a lengthy process, and it's anything but easy to know when you've steamed them adequately. My comparison is the Christmas Pudding my mom (yes! dear old mum) used to make and they were AWESOME ... and never dry. Never. So this is "not my Mom's Christmas Pudding". But as I say, the fruit is fine, so if you do "re-hydrate" them well, and serve with plenty of Brandy Butter they'll do just fine.

This Christmas pudding arrived leaking into the outer packaging. Upon inspection I found the interior covering the actual pudding had been split....almost like it had been opened and re-sealed!! Needless to say it will not be served on Christmas Day! Plus, it's too late to order another. My tip would be to order WAY ahead of the holidays and inspect immediately for anything that looks suspicious because the outer covering on mine was completely was sealed so it makes me think it was opened then resealed!!

My husband is British and misses his Christmas puddings so I decided to gift him one for his birthday and got an extra one to surprise him with for Christmas. It was delicious and yes he let me have a slice ☺️

Every year I buy a plum pudding to take home to Montana with me for Christmas. This year I could not find plum pudding anywhere so I researched plum pudding on the internet and made my choice based on the description from the Matthew Walker web Site. The plum pudding I had been purchasing didn't begin to compare to the one from Matthew Walker. The Matthew Walker Classic Christmas Pudding was even better than it was described. It was moist, so flavorable and delicious and was a huge hit with all of my family. It arrived in only a few days shipping time. I can still taste it just thinking of it. If you want truely awesome, original plum pudding, you have to order Matthew Walker Classic Christmas Pudding.....FANTASTIC!
