Beware: Sensible answer approaching:
Put your Brandy in a ladle AND HEAT IT GENTLY OVER A FLAME (A candle will do) and THEN you light it and pour it over your pudding.
The point being that the Brandy has to be warm before it will burn properly.
Happy Christmas!
PS Why can't people like mythkiller take a day off at this time of the year? There is NO REASON why he should come here and TRASH CHRISTMAS in the name of allah. Take a look at his profile......

Traditionally you use brandy, but vodka or whisky works just as well. Put about 2 tablespoonfuls of spirit in the bottom of the smallest saucepan you've got and warm it gently over the hob. Watch carefully and when it's warm enough, you'll see a white cloud just above the surface. Take it away from the heat and apply a match, and it will burn with a blue flame. Pour it over the pud and it will continue to burn.

Sure is! Perhaps brandy rather than vodka, just a good couple of slugs over the top, light it just as you take it to the table. Perfect. As a kid I remember we used to do this several times, each time the flame lasting a little less than last time. Christmas pud still tastes fine though, its the alcohol that flames rather then the pud.

It can be, but i think you will find that brandy is more traditional, and let it soak for a while, adds to the flavour and complements the pudding better

Warm the BRANDY, then pour over the pud and set light to it. Make sure your hair is not dangling over it.

pour brandy (not vodka - it's doesn't taste as good!!) over a warm pud - be generous with the brandy, then light the fumes.... easy!

Sure! And CHRISTMAS IS LIKE SANTA CLAUS
You know the Fatman is a fake and a fat, white lie, but you go along with it anyway, as you deceive the kids and make them future liars to their own kids.
The Dictionary of the Bible says that: By the 5th. Century, the Church (of Rome) had concerned itself enough to have set December 25 as the date of Jesus’ birth. This had been the date of the Festival of the Sun God Zeus and to the Christians a greater light was come, Jesus Christ, the true light of the World.
Fact is - the Sun God is Zeus, and Jesus is really Jezeus, and the Romans worshipped Zeus, and you can see Barnabas being called Zeus by the Priests of Zeus in the Acts of the Apostles 14:12-13, in the Bible. Mithra was another son of Zeus, but Je-Zeus was Zeus come down as his own son, which made him strictly a Roman God.
Sunday is also the day that was set aside for worship of the Sun God (Zeus) by the Romans.
The Winter Solstice gives us the shortest day in the year, December 22, as the birth of the new Sun, so Rome shifted it to the 25 December in order to celebrate the Feast of the Circumcision eight days later, on 1 January, in accepting Jezeus Christos as the Living God of the Sun risen from the dead.
Zeus and the Fathers of Christianity did not know there was a Southern Hemisphere that did not share the Sun God Zeus or his four seasons, or his twelve disciples or twelve months of the year with the Northern Hemisphere, and it is for this reason that Australia celebrates Christmas twice each year, with the White Christmas falling in June but is called Christmas in July since they know it is a lie.
So Christmas and Christianity were as ignorant of the nature of the Planet as was Santa Claus of the South Pole, and just as the Pope was afraid that Christopher Columbus might fall off the flat Planet in his attempt to reach India traveling westwards, so were Santa Claus and Zeus afraid to go below the Planet and into the Fires of Hell.
When Pope John Paul ii declared the Shroud of Turin a medieval fake after having it scientifically carbon-dated in 1988, he failed to point out that the Bible describes the use of two shrouds, with one for the head and another for the “body” of the 100 lbs of aloes and myrrh, the other perfect hoax.
TRY SOME HONESTY THIS YEAR.
EXPOSE THE FRAUD OF SANTA THE UNHOLY.
BRING THE TRUTH OF THE MESSIAH FROM THE QURAN TO LIGHT SO THAT MEN WHO ARE BORN BLIND MIGHT SEE THAT THE ONE TRUE GOD CAN HAVE NO SON OR NO PARTNER
.
HE IS ONE, HE ALWAYS WAS, HE IS, AND HE ALWAYS WILL BE!
PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL OF HUMANITY!
