LEWIS & COOPER Hand Made Traditional Plum Pudding with Hennessy Cognac 100g

Purchased: Gift 2007
Best Before: 30th Sept 2009 (I was very tempted to eat this on 1st Oct 2009)
Cooked: Microwave
Lit up: No
Cream or Custard: Ice Cream
Packaging: Green cellophane around greaseproof paper. Silver lettering on black sticker. Classy! Gold sticker that says "GOLD Great Taste Awards", ominous.
Appearance: Shaped pretty much like a cupcake. Not as shiny as others - which is normally a good sign.
Texture: Fruity, there are no nuts here. Nice and soft, but it was on the dry side. I suspect if I had steamed the pudding it may have been better here.
Taste: It had a GOLD taste award, so I was excited. Taste was very good, almost excellent. It was a very fruity tasting pudding. Refreshingly for a small pudding it was not overly alcoholic, getting this just right. Nice lasting flavour in the mouth.

Score: 7/10 (Potential for higher score if steamed)
