Talk:Figgy pudding

message: Could someone add a sentence or two describing what figgy pudding actually is? I realize that one might be able to guess from the recipe, but what form is it in? I'm not British, but I'm pretty sure that pudding in this context doesn't necessarily mean the same stuff that's in Jello pudding packs.
:I think the closest equivalent might be what an American would call a cobbler. In this case made with apples and figs, I think what they call pudding in the recipe here is a bread mixture. Fan-1967 04:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you for mentioning this. The first sentence was suffering from some unconstructive edits made some time ago. I've tried to clean it up a bit. The Smithsonian mag reference was rather confusing in its insistence that no figs were ever harmed in the making of the dish, because many of the other sources in the article show that it was in fact often made from figs, up to and including the 19th century. That reference has been moved a little further down, to a statement that it actually supports. You should, of course, feel free to make any other improvements to the article. --bonadea contributions talk 17:37, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Very blurry picture. I can't properly see what it looks right right now.
:I think it may be a good idea if someone could find a more presentable picture for figgy pudding than the current gross mess ( File:Figgy_Pudding_with_flaming_brandy.jpg ) - 72.214.180.44 (talk) 09:10, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm assuming it is the same picture now as it was in 2015 when the above user made this suggestion... it is now 2022 and the picture on this wikipedia page looks like the figgy pudding is on fire with blue flames! JapanOfGreenGables (talk) 00:28, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

message: Given that this article refers to a holiday dessert, which is similar in most ways to plum pudding (which was moved itself to the article Christmas pudding, and given that this article erroneously cites Dickens' A Christmas Carol as a reference point (that Christmas pudding was a plum pudding), it seems this subject would be better served (no pun intended) as part of the larger Christmas pudding article.

replies: text: I'm wondering how the average user would feel about this merge. I'm sure something like 100% of readers come to this page looking for clarification on the lyrics of We Wish You a Merry Christmas. How is such a reader better served by being sent to the larger page (Christmas Pudding) as opposed to its own dedicated page? -Achowat (talk) 18:24, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
