In England, in early Victorian times, people used to say “figs” when they meant dried fruits in general, e.g. raisins, currents, prunes and maybe others. In “Vanity Fair”, William Dobbin is nicknamed “figs” by his schoolmates because he is the son of a grocer. So, as the article says, “foggy puddings”, as named in the Christmas song, could simply be puddings with raisins and sultanas etc.

Hi Paula, I’m glad your husband liked the sight of this pudding! I’m not an expert on gluten-free baking but I’d replace the breadcrumbs and flour by gluten-free oat flour. Happy pudding making!
