I agree wholeheartedly with Atomic Zombie Bastard's take on the hard sauce which normally accompanies "Christmas Pudding". Every Christmas, my mother made "Christmas Puds" and my father made his legendary "Hard Sauce" with dark rum (Smith & Cross) instead of brandy. While my parents (English/Scott) were in the US and I was in Military School in the UK (Duke of York's Royal Military school) before passing "Selection" into the SAS (retired Lt. Col.), my one great feature each year, and worth the trip to the US, was my mother's Christmas Puds with father's hard sauce! It's a memory I shall treasure for the rest of my life, and one I repeat each and every Christmas (along with having Eggs Benedict for Christmas breakfast) - I've passed on the recipe to my son. SOME TRADITIONS MUST BE PRESERVED!
Merry Christmas to all! Politically correct or not!
