Well I've got to admit Christmas Pudding with Custard doesn't LOOK all that impressive in comparison to a cake or pie, it's hard to make Christmas Pudding look pretty. It puts people off I think, the Finns I were feeding didn't know what it was either, so rather than tell them it was British food [people automatically don't like it if you tell them that] I lied and said it was French and a "creme brulee roll" and they loved it. I tend to just lie to the Germans and the Finns and tell them it's French food otherwise they have hang-ups about eating it.
