Properly made Christmas pudding is delicious. It needs a lot of dried fruit, fresh grated apple and plenty of brandy. Fabulous served with custard.

Don't forget it's great with hard sauce too!! I believe they were thinking of the American candied citrus fruit cake during this segment while showing the English Christmas Pudding.

I like to cook some strips of lemon peel in the milk (I keep them big enough to fish out later) and my yiayia's recipe calls for eggs but many versions don't.

I was taught to say suet like “Sue it”, not sweat. Mincemeat is delicious, I make it from scratch. The meat isn’t detectable, it disappears. I use diced ham and all it does is add a little salt and balance the sweet fruit. I spice it strongly. I’m enjoying the walk down memory lane, but you are literally yucking somebody’s yum.

[@Robert_Sparkman_06]

The Amish bakery near me makes great mincemeat pies with real meat. It's fine during Christmas time.

Rice pudding still a staple as a dessert choice in family restaurants to this day

I still know tons of people who still love Rice Pudding...And I have made a cake with mayo , I had a recipe I wanted to try , so it is not a mayo cake and it actually makes it really moist.

I liked rice pudding and anise cookies. My grandmother used to make them and they were always good. Then my mom used to make the potato chip cookies. I used to love them. As for the the mayonnaise cake, they say it was supposed to make it moist. I make mincemeat pies for my husband. He loves them. So there are still some things that are still good. As far as the liver ice.cream, I would never think about having that. The anise cookies are very much Italian. Some of the other stuff ive never even heard of.

Some of these are a lot older than the 1970s.

Here in India, Christmas season still brings Christmas Puddings for sale in confectioneries, and rice pudding(payas/ksheer) is almost mandatory for all festivals and other celebrations of Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Budhhists, and Muslims have an alternate version called firni. Everyone loves rice pudding here. There is a specific technique to get the perfect consistency though, and it is not easy to avoid making it mushy during cooking.

[@Sydroo1969]

Mayo cake was good. Back when I used to eat stuff like that. I remember my mom making some green pudding stuff in the 70s, it wasn't the one they showed here. It was gross too. She loved it. I don't if it had a name. But my sibling and I would call it dog barf salad. 😂😂😂

[@1LuckyGirl1975]

This dudes off his rag. Mayo cake..mayo is the fat that makes it moist. 1/2 cup of dukes mayo added to a homemade cake..no box crap and you're on the money. I make rice pudding and mince meat pies now today. Pfffffffffft

Mayo cake, Rice Pudding and Mince Pies ~ yum

[@carolshannon6449]

Hey mayonnaise cake is wonderful. It doesn't taste like mayonnaise, it tastes rich and chocolatey. And several others here are delicious! But I certainly agree about mincemeat pie, liver ice cream, forgotten cookies, hot dog marshmallow casserole, and others.

[@tarikmehmedika2754]

Out of all of these, rice pudding is amazing, just add more milk for it not to be tha thick and more sugar to make it sweet. Don't add anything else, no rasins or almonds, but with a dash of cinnamon.

Yep, that's all it needs! Do you ever dip bay leaves in the milk when you make it?

Rice pudding didn't go out of style. Only the gross kind with raisins did. The real stuff uses whole vanilla beans, arborio rice, and even some saffron and it's anything but bland. And if it has a baby food texture, then you're not using enough rice.

Many of these are disgusting. However, I make jelllo/marshmallow salads often, including ambrosia. And I make cranberry-jello during hte holiday season. I add chopped apples, diced celery, maeshmallows & chopped pecans. A dollop of coolwhip is optional. And my family loves all of it. Liver ice cream is an abomination!

[@karenbramley9981]

What you call forgotten cookies are also called divinity cookies , my mom used to make them . She was an awesome baker and they're amazing when they're done correctly . She would make them with mini chocolate chips and they're a meringue cookie , like little clouds of sweetness . You're right about that weird green lime Jell-O stuff though , horrible 🤮 Ambrosia Salad is good when it's made correctly . Never saw any hotdog and marshmallow dessert , sounds pretty awful though .

Alright, I would say I am probably the worlds foremost mayonnaise hater. Can’t stand the stuff, I loath it. However, it does have its place from time to time in some dishes as a binder, yet I have found Greek yogurt often works better. And while I don’t like to admit it, a chocolate cake made with mayo is absolutely amazing. If anyone has ever had a slice of cake or the chocolate cake shake from Portillo's you know what I’m talking about. Its diabetes in a cup, you’re welcome.

[@LovingShadow-e3k]

I'm seeing alot of desserts I like Christmas pudding is far nicer than fruitcake. Mincemeat tarts these are the winter holidays warm cocoa , mincemeat tarts makes you think of yule log in the fireplace and misiltoe hanging in the doorway . And as for rice pudding excellent for your stomach if you're sick because it's gentle on said stomach. And some of these recipes you can tell they were jokes and not a real desserts . I mean liver ice cream,hot dog marshmallow casserole? I mean tell me the cookbook or magazine you found the recipes.
