I bought a Heston Blumenthall christmas pud a week or so ago, (the one with the whole crystalized orange in it) Now I hear that they are selling on ebay for anything up to 200 pounds.........Do I sell it or do we simply eat it and enjoy it on Christmas day???? what would you do??

Throw it in the bin and get a proper traditional one

The problem with eating it is that eventually it will be flushed down the toilet, what a waste. I would sell it and get something else you can't flush.

yenibob, if I had bought 2 I would sel 1, however having bought 1 I would just sit back and enjoy it with freinds and family. As to lending you 1000 pounds well I might, depends on what the repayments are

I gotta say, I am not all that fond of xmas puddings. Even if I were though, I can't imagine any of them being worth 200 pounds. Sell it, buy another, distribute gifts worth the diference to your family. I'm sure they'll enjoy it more than a candied orange and brandy flavored cake, so long as you pick meaningful gifts.

If it's worth a lot of money then sell it. Use this link on the Daily Telegraph Lifestyle page to see how to make the pudding yourself. Happy cooking!
