What's the best wine to drink with Christmas pudding?

Posted on December 14 2017 at 07:07

There is an argument that you don't need anything to drink with the classic Christmas pudding*, especially if you've sloshed brandy all over it but if you're pairing other courses of the Christmas meal you might fancy a small glass of something sweet.

Pairing beer with dessert

If you were going to introduce someone to beer the last course you’d probably think of would be a dessert but as I discovered at a beer and pudding matching session at Brown’s Hotel in London this week it can be a surprisingly successful combination.

Perfect lunch with @essexeating and @carolinepeel at @sonnystores which just always delivers the goods. Apple, fennel, Gorgonzola and walnut salad, pizzetta, duck tagliolini and rhubarb and pistachio meringue all for £25*. Plus they’re open all day. One of my favourite Bristol restaurants. * the pizzetta was strictly Dan’s but we shared. So 3 courses for 25 quid. Just brilliant! . #salad #pasta #meringue #rhubarb #pizzetta #lunch #bristol #sonnystoresFinally beginning to see the value of pressure cooking. An incredibly tasty lamb curry from @catherinephipps Modern Pressure Cooking in 15 minutes (+ marinating + depressurising but still much quicker than cooking it conventionally). I miss the process of watching the dish evolve but can’t deny it’s efficient. And cheap. . . #pressurecooker #pressurecooking #lamb #lambcurry #curryMothers Day flowers (thanks @wjjbeckett and @mariaallerc 😘😘) and loads of daffs on my #mothersday walk. Really is worth going up to @ashton_court_estate at this time of year especially when the sun is shining . . . #flowers #bouquet #daffodils #daffs #ashtoncourtFirst visit to @casa.restaurant.bristol the reincarnation of @petersancheziglesias Casamia. Hard to describe - part Italian, part hipster Shoreditch (the brined and smoked pork chop - apols for the really rubbish photo), it’s a much more casual restaurant than its predecessor. Some standout dishes showing really impressive technique. Some crisp little balls filled with molten Parmesan (swoon), a perfect dish of charred squid with peperonata, garganeli with fennel sausage and pangrattato (really good) and a sumptuously buttery dish of cabbage and bacon (but expensive for a side at £11). Textbook tiramisu too. Top notch cooking but almost New York pricey so a bit out of reach for a regular night out though the restaurant was rammed with twenty- and early thirtysomethings. Maybe they do deals? Worth investigating …. #guest . . . #pasta #squid #cabbage #bristolfood #bristolrestaurant #bristol Follow on Instagram
