The Christmas pudding we recognise today is a Victorian dish made from suet, dried fruit, candied peel, breadcrumbs, spices, egg and grated carrots and apples.
我們現在經常見到的圣誕布丁,最早起源于維多利亞時代。其主要成分包括(牛羊腰部的)板油、干果、蜜餞果皮、面包屑、香料、雞蛋、磨碎的胡蘿卜和蘋果。
The Victorians shaped their puddings into a spherical shape and boiled them in a muslin cloth.
維多利亞時期的人把布丁弄成球型,并用棉布包著放在水里煮。
‘Stir up Sunday’ (the last Sunday before Advent) has become associated with the start of the pudding-making process, in order to allow it least a month to mature before being consumed on Christmas Day.
喚醒星期日(基督降臨日前最后一個星期日)一般標志著圣誕布丁制作過程的開始,因為布丁最后做好需要至少1個月的時間。這個時候開始制作可以確保在圣誕節當天大家能夠享用圣誕布丁。
At Christmas, the pudding is doused in brandy and set alight.
圣誕節當天,布丁會被淋上白蘭地(燒酒)然后點著火、點亮,然后端上桌。
