Culinary Christmas - December 24: We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Featured Foods: Figgy pudding

My favorite version of We Wish You A Merry Christmas is performed by John Denver & The Muppets, and we featured that track back in 2002. During the song, Miss Piggy confuses the reference to "Figgy pudding" as "Piggy pudding" and has a little conniption. It's all quite delightful.

However, since we've already used that version, I present to you this track by Roger Whittaker. There are no pigs mentioned, but he sure does make a big deal about figgy pudding. You hear it a lot… and even in a round! Personally, the stuff sounds amazingly gross.

While you are here, don't forget to check out our Tour of View-Masterville, the Christmas village I built underneath our Christmas tree this year. You'll have a "reel" good time!

Just one more track to go for this Culinary Christmas celebration during our 25 Days. What will it be? Tune in tomorrow to find out!
