In reply to Doug:
> Back when I used to frequently camp in winter we often bought Christmas puddings cheap just after the holiday & then had fried slices of pudding for breakfast (best with butter).
Why has frying slices of xmas pudding in butter never occurred to me? That sounds almost as satisfying as refried dauphinois potatoes.
> And no mention of Black bun ?
You need to have grown up reading Oor Wullie to know about that one. Fruitcake pie, what's not to like.
OP: Xmas cake is definitely my favourite hill fodder. Ours generally lasts well into the spring, mainly consumed on the hills.
