</div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Not really, a lot of fruit things are made by the the "seal up and leave</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
to mature" method, including Christmas cake. Black bun is quite dry,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
like fruit cake, and you eat it as a cake, ie, from hand to mouth.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Plum pudding is soft-ish and served with brandy sauce and fire. Brandy</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
sauce is certainly very nice, right up there with my other favourite</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
English inventions like cider, perry and champagne  :)</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">----------</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I bet someone in Scotland has already come across the idea of deep-frying black bun along with everything else under the sun.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
