Do sprouts actually pair with turkey or is it some syncretic combination few chefs have even dared to question? Christmas pudding really is a bad dessert. A stodgy concoction full of treacle and spice, more often than not, drenched in alcohol that gives you indigestion after eating it is the worst thing to serve after a heavy main course. Nobody seems to eat a similar pudding on any other day of the year - which is probably an indictment to how unappetising Christmas pudding really is. There are much more enjoyable classic British puddings served with custard.
