If it’s home made it definitely needs the two hour steam otherwise it tastes sort of under done. If it’s shop bought and you don’t mind it cold you can probably forgoe the steaming.

It’s shop. M&S… but shop!

Then you’re absolutely right and the whole steaming malarkey was probably excessive.

Is it to do with softness and texture maybe? Mine (bought - St John - fabulous) went hard when cold. Still tasty but lacked desirable squidgy effect. Also: steaming plus; reminds me of my lovely mum. She always made two puds - second one kept for Easter Sunday. Never poisoned anybody.

I actually prefer cold Christmas pudding.

couldn't you just soak it in brandy and set fire to it

I'm sure that's what my granny did,
or my grandad
