First, the meaning of Christmas pudding

Traditionally, when Advent comes, every family member will make a Christmas pudding to symbolize unity and harmony. Everyone will make a silent wish while stirring the dough, and finally a coin will be hidden in the dough.

Second, the origin of Christmas pudding

Christmas pudding is sometimes called plum (raisin) pudding or duff, but it can also refer to other kinds of steamed puddings containing dried fruits.

Although it is called "plum pudding", it doesn't actually contain plums, because before the Victorian era, the word plum meant raisins.

Today's Christmas pudding comes from traditional Christmas foods, such as milk, porridge and dried fruit pudding. Therefore, although there are no plums in Christmas pudding, it is also called dried fruit pudding and has become a new member of Christmas dishes.

Third, the custom of Christmas pudding.

In Denmark, when Christmas dinner begins, people must eat an almond pudding before they can start eating other things. If anyone can eat the only intact almond, he will be the luckiest person in the coming year. Usually, adults will put this almond in the youngest child's bowl to make them happy.
