Our Word of the Day was figgy, as in figgy pudding, a traditional British Christmas dessert, that really isn’t full of figs, and really isn’t what we would consider pudding at all!
Notice it looks more like cake – a cake filled usually with raisins, currant and other types of dried fruit. It’s made with a brown sugar, flour and egg base, with some brandy as well. Plus you are supposed to let it age for 4-5 weeks before eating it. I would just call this fruitcake!
Thanks for listening!
