Woolworth's Gold Vintage Christmas Pudding

Contact: woolworths.com.au
Price: $1.98/100g

Tasting notes:
“The glacé orange slices look good, but it needs careful cutting for serving. Good texture, though nuts could be cut smaller. Very fruity and moist.”

  

Fowlers Luxury Plum Pudding

Tasting notes:
“Characteristic pudding basin shape with a smooth surface. Moist, but a little doughy and sticky in texture, making it crumble during cutting. Slight bitter/burnt aftertaste.”
