Welcome to C J's e-Newsletter!
Dear
The centrepiece of a traditional Australian Christmas table is a roast pork with a scrumptious crackling or a glazed ham, plenty of roasted vegetables, and fresh seafood which is often followed up with a Christmas pudding served with custard. This spread can be traced back to early pagan and Christian times with British, Germanic and Nordic roots.
The roast pork and ham is said to be linked to Freyr, a Germanic god who sacrificed wild boar for yuletide. The preparation of this dish has also evolved. Working class families in 1800s had to use all parts of pigs and the pork rind was no exception, cooked or fried to high temperature to become a high protein food. The Glazed ham, glazed with sugar, appeared around 1930s and continues to be popular for an Australian summer.
A plump Christmas pudding is a fruit cake that is traditionally bag-boiled. Various versions of this pudding appeared throughout culinary history but it appeared in its current form, with a sprig of holly as garnish, appeared in a cookbook in 1845. The custom of eating this pudding for Christmas was carried to many parts of the British Empire.
Christmas is celebrated around the world and traditions vary. Whatever you have for your Christmas feast, my team wishes you and your plenty of joy and good tidings!
We will still be working during the Christmas holidays so if you want to discuss your property or are you thinking of selling, and would like to receive a market appraisal, please contact us. We will provide you with a comprehensive report on the local market with a suggested price guide for your property based on the current market.

What is Christmas Pudding?
|
|

Pudding, as Americans know it, is a soft, dairy type dessert, like custard, but to Brits, it simply means, “dessert”. Christmas Pudding, therefore, is translated to “Christmas Dessert”. You’ve probably also heard it called plum pudding as in Charles Dicken’s classic, A Christmas Carol.
