FOOD FUN: Holiday Edition Figgy Pudding SPAM
|
|
There are currently 11 flavors of SPAM, from Jalapeño to Portuguese Sausage Seasoning; and, as limited editions for the holidays, Oven Roasted Turkey and Pumpkin Spice SPAM. Now, SPAM is debuting a new holiday flavor, Figgy Pudding SPAM. A few words on figgy pudding: It’s not what Americans think of as pudding. Rather, “pudding” is the British term for dessert. It can be anything sweet. Figgy pudding is a steamed cake, soaked with brandy or rum and studded with dried fruit (dates, figs, plums). How much alcohol is in it? It’s often flambéed! Here’s more about it and a recipe. But back to the main topic. Inspiration for the new flavor was a recent survey of 2,000 American adults. It revealed that 69% of consumers do know what Figgy Pudding is or have heard of it, but only 17% have had it. Not surprising: It’s not really an American custom. But that’s why the SPAM® Brand created its own fusion Figgy Pudding, giving SPAM the flavors of Figgy Pudding and adding another classic holiday flavor. With both savory and sweet notes, SPAM® Figgy Pudding evokes a sense of nostalgia added as a slice with: Get Figgy Pudding SPAM while supplies last at SPAM.com, Amazon.com and Walmart. Also tune into a video animation of Santa and elves singing “We Wish You a Figgy Christmas” (And A SPAMTASTIC New Year!).
