Here’s a phrase you’ve probably said, or SUNG. But I bet you can’t tell me what it is: What’s “figgy pudding”?
The answer is NOT what most Americans think of as pudding. It’s a classic holiday CAKE made with flour, dried fruit, and “suet” or hardened fat. Yummy!
Most Americans just know if from the song “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. But now’s your chance to see what it’s all about . . . because the makers of SPAM are selling their own version for the holidays.
Two-packs of SPAM Figgy Pudding are available for a limited time on Amazon for $10, or Walmart.com for a little more. (Check to see if it’s still available. It’s already sold out on SPAM.com.)
It’s not REAL figgy pudding though. It’s a much more meat-forward version. The top ingredient is still pork, so it’s figgy pudding-FLAVORED, but not the actual dessert.
The last holiday flavor SPAM came up with was surprisingly popular. Back in 2019, their pumpkin spice version sold out instantly.
