It's also excellent for Christmas Pudding, if you're into that sort of thing. Steaming one of those can take an hour or two (and can be seriously hazardous when you're trying to extract it from the steamer), but a microwave can get it piping hot in about 5 minutes.

I don't have a good recipe for Christmas Pudding, or I'd try that :)

We buy them from the store, to be honest.
Each year, the newspapers here do taste testing of the various offerings from about a dozen different major retailers. Which one is best is not closely linked with how much you pay for it.
We do have a kick-ass recipe for brandy butter. Could knock out a regiment could that…

And chances are, a lot of them are made by the same company anyway (one of my summer jobs at uni was working in a Christmas pudding factory)

Maybe, but they appear to not all be to the same recipe.

I don't live near you anymore, unfortunately if I want British food, I have to make it myself these days. I miss having convenience foods that were decent quality, like the ubiquitous sandwich triangles and pasties I practically lived on in my days at Salford.

This looks like it might be a decent recipe (decent number of upvotes).
The part you can accelerate with a microwave is definitely the heating on the day, but that's when you usually haven't got time anyway, so that's all good. As I said, it's a few minutes in the microwave (and then let it stand for about twice that so that the heat spreads evenly).

Oh, were you at The Other Place? (I work in the University of Manchester. ;))

I was :) Only for a year, I did my master's there.

Why are we flogging the fox?
Think of it like flogging the dead horse of flagging the fox for fizzling on the funny.

Does @accalia know you want to flog her?

No, I said flogging a dead horse. @polygeekery's the one that wants to flog @accalia.

she is currently very confused trying to figure out which one of you ■■■■■■■'s she should bite for this entire exchange.....
she said to tell you she'll figure that out after she has a nice hot toddy and a nap so if you think she's going to decide to bite you now might be a good time to start running.
Mini-head-accalia #127 runs away, her job as temporary spokes-imaginary-figure discharged for now

All I did originally was make a joke about flagging you undeservedly for a whoosh. @polygeekery is the one who got silly with it.

Does she have enough rep to start biting people? Asking for a friend without rep.

duly noted.

well that depends, has your friend signed the waiver giving permission to accalia to, and i quote, "Apply dental appendages unto the flesh of the signee under the following circumstances
- signee has really really really annoyes her
- signee has performed actions that warrant corrective action under sections 17.4 through 765.2
- signee has explicitly asked for it
such application of dental appendages will be restricted under the following rules:
- application may not endanger the life of the signee
- application may not inflict grievous bodily harm upon the signee
- application may not leave permanent marks on the signee
Section 17.2 Claws"

well that depends,

Unless you want to go flying (or to the place kidnappers go), you should take a flyer.

No I shouldn't. Though it might have been more accurate to answer, "Yes."

See.

If she opened my package she might have fleas now ...

See.
An alternative form of something must necessarily not be the definitive form. Using "take a flier" is like using "drab" in the following way: "The drab had made six hundred dollars that night".

Why would you think that?
You keep bringing it up. It has a distinct whiff of rankle.

Why did you fumble the razor?
Because my hovercraft was full of eels.
I dunno...one post you admit it's a alternative form. Later on you say it's "wrong." I guess you really meant to say that I was Doing It Wrong.

Wrong is :squint: not doing it the way everyone else [ah, just going to soldier on] is.

That seems wrong. But it wasn't what I was doing, either, so I'm not sure where that gets us.

Cake. Definitely cake. Also Cherry Coke, unless you're some kind of Communist who doesn't like Cherry Coke.
Btw, "Communist" and "doesn't like cherry coke" is a Venn diagram that looks like this: O

They also keep very well. We usually buy them in January for the Christmas following…
