Fruitcake?

Vicky has just finished her Kirk and Hamilton piece for the Winter TNNA show in February. It's a figgy pudding! I have no idea what that is but Vicky thinks it is a bit like fruitcake.

To try and get an idea of traditional British puddings I visited Ivan Day's website.  I think boiled puddings are probably the most like Vicky's figgy pudding.

Whether you are interested in food or not, Vicky's very British pudding is a delight to see.
