figgy pudding
Carolers' demanded treat
Figgy pudding is a traditional British steamed dessert made with suet, dried figs, and spices, served especially at Christmas.
The dish is familiar to many primarily through the carol "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," where carolers demand figgy pudding as payment for their singing.
The modern version often contains raisins or currants rather than figs.
