# Talk:Modern Cookery for Private Families

See the discussion (permalink) in errors for an explanation of the dubious tag added by the assertion that this was the first book to mention Christmas Pudding. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 20:31, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Both the discussion and this article state that (plum) puddings were eaten at Christmas long before this book. The book, asserts the source, apparently correctly, was the first to call it "Christmas Pudding" rather than "Plum Pudding" as it had been known. I'll check the wording to ensure this is crystal clear. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:17, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

The page has a list of editions that does not include the 4th edition. The OED cites this edition as the first to use "Spaghetti" and so the bibliographic info would be useful to include (even just for completeness sake). Does anyone have bibliographic info for that to add to the article? Wugapodes [thɑk] [ˈkan.ˌʧɹɪbz] 20:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Is it - no pun intended - kosher to link to the e-book at Gutenberg? https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/72482/pg72482-images.html 73.231.158.130 (talk) 18:36, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes. Added. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:49, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
