Christmas pudding

[Jazzy]

The world's most precious Christmas pudding has gone on sale - for £23,500.

Created by chef Martin Chiffers, the seasonal luxury features cognac from a bottle of Duret 1810 which costs £10,890 and a gold Henry VI Salut d'Or coin worth £7,500.

In addition, the pudding is created with the finest organic ingredients including Agawa dates and rare Mamra almonds from Iran, as well as alcohols including the limited Last Consignment Black Tot Rum, Perez Barquero Solear 1905 Sherry and 1834 Whitaker Marsala.

The final pudding will be made to order depending on the buyer's dietary requirements.

"I am very excited to be creating such a luxurious and unique Christmas pudding with exceptional ingredients," said Chiffers, who used to be the executive pastry chef at The Savoy in London.

Marcel Knobil, founder of Superbrands, Cool BrandLeaders and VeryFirstTo, added: "We are thrilled to offer this extraordinary luxurious pudding that is infused with history and tradition. I certainly would be requesting an extra large portion both for its exquisite taste and in the hope that it would contain the coin!"

Money isn't food!
I'm quite sure my Christmas dinner's going to be a lot cheaper and a lot more edible as well

Indeed, people can make amazing things on a small budget.

Well, yes, that, but I was thinking of putting gold in meals.

I've had Christmas pudding, but not THAT Christmas pudding, and I don't think I will be having that one any time soon.

A somewhat more traditional recipe is here:

The one I had a couple of years ago was fairly close to this.

Wow, I was just looking at the cooking time:

Place on a rack in large pan with water halfway up bowl. Cover the pan and bring to boil. Keep at a boil for 15 minutes; reduce heat very low and cook for 6 hours. Do not let boil dry.

Way too much trouble and waste of gas for me.
