The 'plum' in plum pudding does not refer to the fruit. Plum pudding dates back to the Middle Ages, and contained flour, suet, raisins, nuts and various spices with sugar. The ingredients were tied in a cloth and boiled until the ingredients were 'plum' - that is they had swelled up to fill the cloth wrapping tightly.

Reply:"Henry VIII was the first English king to enjoy turkey, although Edward VII made eating turkey fashionable at Christmas. Indeed turkey was a luxury right up until the 1950's when refrigerators became commonplace." They used to eat goose more often. Personally I shall be enjoying a vegan Christmas.
