ternational cookbooks but the memories of a meal eaten by a starving man were never going to stack up against the later day australian reality and after a few experiments it wasn t long before we were back onto the old laissez faire meat and three veg diet the old boy s been gone these good many years but one of the few relics i have from the 3½ years he spent as a prisoner of war of the japanese is a small pocket sized notebook in which he had recorded some of the things that must have seemed important to him in those dark days of 1943 the deaths of brothers in arms pages of those a scholarly discourse recorded in miniscule handwriting on the production of alcohol well he had worked in a distillery before the war so maybe this was a case of brushing up on his professional skills more telling though are recipes of remembered foods that were obviously completely out of reach of men suffering the privations of being prisoners of war the plumb pudding in danger by james gillray 1805 british pm william pitt the younger and the emperor napoleon are shown carving up the the world like a pudding source wikipedia memories of food were a preoccupation in the pow camps and remembered recipes are reportedly a common theme in surviving diaries in tiny handwriting my father has written a recipe for something he called the king s xmas pudding george vi grandfather of the current king was the reigning monarch during world war 2 but i m wondering now whether the king of this recipe might have been george i the first of the hanoverian dynasty who reigned over great britain in the early 18th century although the germanic george number one couldn t speak english that didn t stop him from ordering widely from the royal kitchen george the first has been referred to as the pudding king and not only because of contemporary comments on his anthropometric body shape but because he is supposed to have requested plum pudding as a part of the first christmas feast of his reign in 1714 then as now the plum in plum pudding was a generic term for any steamed pudding containing a mixture of dried or candied fruit most commonly raisins currants and prunes numerous variations on the recipe associated with george i exist but most of these seem to be dateable only to the 19th century so there is some debate around the authenticity of any of them the so called king s christmas pudding written down by my late father in the jungles of burma in 1943 describes a rather plain pudding recipe although it does include a couple of now hard to get ingredients like candied citron which when i made this i bought online the suet came fresh at a local butcher i had never attempted this recipe before but i found the quantities make a large quantity of pudding mixture enough for a couple of big puddings or four average sized puddings after hours of steaming a sweet christmas smell permeates the kitchen this evening with the puddings hanging in their usual place from one of the butcher s hooks one pudding will get a final warm up on christmas day 2024 the others will be stored in a cool dark place for a later date christmas in july anyone a string of christmas puddings in the kitchen december 2024 as i put the pages of my father s old war time diary through the scanner for use in this post i gave a smile to myself what would he have have thought about the use of his pages if he could have looked forward from the jungles of burma in 1943 and seen where we are at now does that inter generational knowledge now include access to the world wide web well if this pud is
