Ogilvie & Co Fine Food Merchants Plum Pudding with Spice and Butterscotch and Brandy Sauce


Taste

Of course this is not as good as the sticky date pudding I make myself, but in terms of puddings, this one from Ogilvie & Cois a little dry. It’s a little bit dense for a pudding, the texture resembling that of a fruitcake. There is an abundance of fruit and spices, and once it is paired with the sauce, it makes quite a nice snack.

Rating - 5.5

Look

The pudding comes in a white box with silver stars and fancy writing. You can pop the pudding straight into the microwave. The sauce comes in a separate container, you can’t heat the jar up though. Everything evokes the old world, hand made charm.

Rating - 2.5

C-factor

80g pudding for $12.95. For the price there are some nicer puddings out there, try the Newcastle ladies one, it's more-ish!
