Budget Challenge Christmas Edition - £1 To Make Christmas Pudding

[@nticompass]

I don't think I've heard of Christmas Pudding before. But, being from the US and not celebrating Xmas, I'm not that surprised. I should look up what a "real" one is supposed to look like. I want to try it.

I have a suggestion for a food budget food challenge. A weekend from WWII following the rules of Britain's rationing system. People who lived through it had to be very crafty and clever. I would love to see what amazing ideas you would manage to come up with.

[@sampetrie340]

No disrespect intended, but I have a hard time picturing Winston Churchill sustaining his generous physique while participating in food rationing. So I assume this applied to some but not all?

[@ciarangale4738]

@@sampetrie340 i mean, I do wonder if you or anyone has seen pictures of him during/just after such rationing. also, though i dont know, at a guess i would say that the rationing was to ensure that mass starvation wasnt as much of a problem, but didnt bar people from getting more food through another channel if they could afford it

[@billijomaynard8924]

@@sampetrie340 He was known for loving his Cognac, Brandy and cigars. One thing i found out in my research of Britain during WWII which surprised me a bit is that alcoholic beverages were never rationed but were so hard to get a hold of that people who did have a bottle drank it very sparingly. Some farmers made their own. Beer made from potatoes was a popular alternative. Everyone in Britain did get ration cards including the Royal family but i'm guessing that because of Churchill's station and position, obtaining alcohol would have been much easier for him then most.There is also some stories around some of the meals Churchill had in his War room with the higher up military chaps and ministers in his cabinet. Venison being one of his favorites, but deer is wild game therefore was not under the rationing system. Cannot really say for certain whether he cheated a bit from time to time but from what i have managed to find out if he did it was not very often.

I love the budget challenge. It covers so many things: a fun challenge, a fun thinking exercise, and also an eye opener about how much being on a tight budget means you have to resign from so many things. Also, I think you using items from the cupboard is totally fair - everybody has some stuff in the cupboard. I think buying a whole thing of sugar for this would have been more unrealistic. Most people have sugar at home.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Hello Mike. I think you might have just partly solved a real problem for me. I have gut problems & have to eat a low FODMAP (Fermentable chemicals) diet. Christmas pudding is a very high FODMAP food & I would be in pain if I ate it. However I can have lemons, oranges & green bananas, carrots & some spelt bread so there is a basis for some sort of pudding that I could make. I reckon you did extremely well for the budget. Also I think a lot of children would prefer your orangey pudding to the traditional one & fresh fruit is good for the digestion so that is all to the good. You must be an excellent chef as you understand the qualities of food.

[@megsmith6758]

I am on a low FODMAP diet as well. I found this amazing gluten and dairy free fruit bread which is fine for me to eat. So I could do this as well. It’s all about finding the foods you can eat.

[@sarahstrong7174]

@@megsmith6758 What fruit is in the bread though because dried fruits such as raisins & sultanas & currents, as well as apples & pears & plums & other stone fruits etc are all full of fermentable chemicals & so off the diet? Having said that, not all things interact the same for everyone as you might, for example, be less sensitive to fructans than I am. So you maybe able to tolerate some things I cannot.

[@thatdude5104]

I recently got inspired and tried to make an apple pie for €1 (with foraged apples). I think if you want to do something like this you could take the price from reduced items you find, but just buy the regularly priced items so you dont clear out the reduced section for people that actually do have a limited budget (been there, not very pleasant) (the experiment succesfully failed, the botton crust was way too soft and wet, but it was actually nice like that).

[@spammerwhammer5526]

Interesting experiment, and entertaining. Suggestion 1: Your cup of household ingredients was not full, so there was room for a butter wrapper with which to grease the bowl. Suggestion 2: Zap the whole thing in a microwave (less foil) for say 15 mins after steaming, unwrap and let stand for 5-10 mins - hopefully then less mushy. Suggestion 3: outside the challenge limitations add a generous splash of Jägermeister, ignite* and enjoy the enhanced flavours - beats cognac hands down *bonus benefit - SARS-CoV-2 hates being incinerated! Cheers, and seasons greetings.

King Bach: “Hey dog can I get some ice cream?” His friend: “Only a spoonful.” King Bach: Pulls out comically large spoon with a mischievous grin on his face In this vine, King Bach has presented a rather large spoon to his friend. The humor stems from the fact that King Bach would like to eat some ice cream but his friend retorts at him, saying he can only have a spoonful and nothing more. Bach then suddenly changes his expression and body language that he is in possession of a spoon. And not just any spoon, it is a massive stainless steel spoon. This is funny because you would never expect someone to be in possession of a massive spoon to eat ice cream with. It is completely unorthodox and uncalled for. This is why the video is on the 2012 epic vine compilation on KZbin.

[@theoriginalbabycub]

Couple of suggestions... Add a circle of greaseproof paper to bottom of pudding basin to help it turn out. Use the syrup from the canned fruit on its own, heat it up, make holes in the turned out pudding with a skewer and spoon the syrup over it, letting it soak in. Should help the sweetness. Only works if the canned fruit is in syrup though, not in Juice. Orange sauce with the orange juice and store cupboard cornflour (cornstarch) or arrowroot if you have it, plain flour if not, as a thickening agent. Cook out the raw of the flour to make an orange sauce.

Every apple I’ve ever had goes brown while I’m eating it so shocked to see that last 4 hours

[@IanSlothieRolfe]

I think he said it was an ornamental apple, apples bred for eating are usually sweeter and less 'tart' than wild and ornamental apples, and tend to go brown more easily. The browning is caused by bacteria digesting the sugar in the apple if I remember my biology from many years ago correctly.

[@bryku]

o.o wow. my grandparents had apple trees and I would just sit out there eating them when I was a boy, so I had my fair share of apples. An hour is pretty normal depending on the type of apple and temperature. The problem is that many fruits are treated with different things to make them ripe. It often causes them to go bad pretty quick once oxygen hits it. Also if you pick them late they will go bad faster as well. You want them right went they start turning red. If it's all red it's too late. It may taste good, but once the skin is broken it will go bad in minutes.

[@alumlovescake]

You must be eating something else for me apples take 40 minutes to 1.25 hours out of the fringe to brown

Yeah, this worked out a lot like one of those egg-less cake recipes made with bran cereal.

first when I was coming back to your channel after a long break I was quite sad to see that you didn't put out a new food challenge video except this one but what you explained in this video about covid-19 and stuff like that it made me understand and appreciate how conscious you was being about other people! so thank you very much!

The shopping haul was a great value from my perspective. Where I live that would have cost three times what he paid. The bread alone would be more than £1.

[@davidw1518]

But don't overlook the fact that the bread was reduced because it had reached its "sell by" date. Having said that, I doubt whether its original price would have been more than £1, so perhaps you live in a remote location where the local small shop can't buy in bulk, transportation costs are higher, and everything is therefore more expensive than in the cities with competing supermarkets. I note that, although the eggs that were just within view of the camera were from Sainsbury's, this shopping trip was to Asda, which is owned by Walmart and is noted for its "pile it high, sell it cheap" style.

Your videos are really endearing. Very relaxing to listen to you make up this pudding. Happy Holidays, friend.

Only 2 things I would have done: 1) line the pudding basin with cheesecloth to aid in removal, especially since there was no butter, and 2) I would have omitted the orange pith, the white stuff under the orange zest. It is very bitter, and the sugar would have to overcome that, and of course, your sugar was limited.

[@Sarah_Grant]

Yes, either cheesecloth or parchment would have worked. And cook it for another hour.

Instant classic. Thank you for making and sharing!

That glass looks like a Nutella glass and I know this because I'm currently drinking wine from mine 👍🏾

I’ve never seen Nutella in any glass container before, and I gotta say, I’d buy a lot more of it if it came with a free cup buddy.

[@clairethatsit2507]

@@Tacospaceman oooh yes, poundlands finest if I remember correctly. I haven't seen them for a while but my obsession with Nutella a while back allowed me to stock up on a fair amount 🤣

[@Tacospaceman]

@@clairethatsit2507 I’m so jealous. I want Nutella jars

[@oanaalexia]

@@Tacospaceman Can't blame you, we have them in European stores, some have cute drawings on them, I found other companies using beautiful glasses for their sweets. Wish I could send you some.

I really appreciate you mentioning what you _didn't_ have. It helped me understand more of what Christmas pudding is. Merry Christmas.
