| In England, eating plum pudding is an old Yule tradition. People usually placed small tokens in the pudding that would predict their fortunes in the coming year. For example, a small wishbone symbolized good luck. A ring symbolized marriage, and a thimble symbolized spinsterhood. If you don't have time to spend hours making a real plum pudding, you can substitute rice pudding instead. Make it according to your favorite recipe, and place the tokens at random after you've put the pudding in the baking dish. |
