I have been invited to a traditional christmas dinner this year and thought it would be nice if I contributed the xmas pud! Are there any problems in food products being posted to thailand? I would hate to pay for one plus post & packing for it to end up in some bin (or customs man belly)

Many places offer real good(even imported) xmas pudding.

Check the good supermarkets.

I will do that thanks Gerd

Christmas pud. The work of the devil. I saw some in TOPS recently but I am not sure if they were last years stock. You could always make your own, the only difficulty would be the suet I imagine. You could even put some coins in (satangs would be a good substitute for tanners and I have never fathomed the use for the little buggers anyway)

I got my Xmas puds last year from Yorkies.......will do same this year.

Yes Suet is the problem...we were going to make some this year but opted for Cakes instead, as a friend is bringing some marzipan for us.

The other pain with puds is the ernormous amount of hours required to steam them.

Barley wine ( stingo / gold label ) is gettable presumably??

May be some good news now from the xmas pud front:

Just spoke to a good friend of mine in BKK, he owns a bakery in BKK and does a lot of xmas puds every year, his customers are the good supermarkets and hotels.

I suggested to him to register here and post his address, so members could order their xmas puds and pick it up from his bakery.

I will send a link now to him.

Have had no problem, my daughter sends me one from Marks and Spencers every year and very nice it is too !! it would not be Christmas without one
