Cellar at Matt's farm

[callistra]

This is a couple of pictures of a friend's cellar where I am suggesting we stick puddings if we do them.

	The Stairs Down..... Into the Cellar of DOOOOOOOOM!
	Cellar and Wine! Whine whine whine whine... er.... ok, wine... :-) The roof of the cellar is exposed steel beams just above head height. Before they chucked all this wine and stuff in there, it gave me some evil ideas....
	'Usbandly One and Cellar Wine! Er, OK, not in this pic. The cellar is under the house, and has a constant temp.
	Sparkler Bomb Just to see if any one is paying attention. :-)

OOer. That Sparkler Bomb certainly did live up to expectation...

Puddings!

I finally worked out it was probably you who commented:-)

This looks great—and I'm definitely keen on doing massed puddings well ahead next year:-)

Do you have a good recipe? Or shall I go hunting?

We have several recipes we've used successfully over the last couple of years. I'll see how this year's goes being kept for a month:-)

Sparkler Bomb?

Tee hee hee yup. The neighbour from the next farm drove up to see what we were up to.

I know that this is the sort of thing that I am likely to kick myself for asking, later, but what on earth would you be storing puddings in a cellar for? Because neither of the definitions that I'm familiar with really lend themselves to long periods of storage, even in a cool, underground place.

What am I missing?

Think english style christmas puddings, not american style dairy based puddings.

Suet and dried fruit and brandy type of thing. They need time to "mature."

Does that help?

'Maturing' puddings

I've realised though that the references to storing puddings I've been reading have recommended giving them a weekly sprinkle with brandy/muscat, which may be difficult to manage at that distance...

True.

OH. That kind of pudding. I was thinking, like, American puddings or generic desserts puddings, and wasn't able to get past it. *is stupid*
