'... in this country alone, 4,000,000
puddings are prepared for Christmas Day, each of which will average 4 ¼ lbs in
weight. The national plum pudding, therefore, weighs just about 7,589 tons; to
compose it you must take 2628 tons of raisins, 892 tons of currants and the
same quantity of mixed peel, of breadcrumbs and suet 1339 tons each, some
500,000 pints of brandy and 32,000000 eggs.’
Edinburgh Evening News 14th December 1898
