Christmas pudding is a pudding served after with custard laced with brandy or dark rum & is usually served after the main course on Christmas Day.
Christmas cake or fruit cake is very similar but is traditionally iced with a layer of marzipan & then royal icing. It is normally served with tea, coffee or in the evening with something a little stronger.
Sweet mince pies are usually only made & available in the shops around Christmas time. sweet mince or mincemeat is made from chopped dried fruit, spices, spirits & nuts.
Savoury mince pies are sold all year round in bakeries & are made using minced beef/ground beef.
And then there is Yorkshire pudding & pease pudding which are also savoury.
