---Dessert #6 Figgy Pudding---
The term figgy pudding is known mainly because of the Christmas carol "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," which repeats, "Oh bring us a figgy pudding" in the chorus, indicating that it was a Christmas tradition to visit demanding this treat (in a fun way).
The history of figgy pudding dates back to 16th century England based on the savory pudding of figge - a potage of mashed figs thickened with bread. The current version of Figgy pudding resembles something like a white Christmas pudding containing figs. It is a dessert that takes a long time to cook with 3 hours of steaming and the unveiling of the pudding is often a defining moment for the cook with the result being either a solid success or a soggy mess.
Often a coin is placed inside the pudding - with luck being brought to the finder in their portion of the dessert.
Cache is a Camo'd pill bottle with log only. BYOP.
FTF contains a british coin in honour of the dessert tradition.
