In thousands of British homes this Christmas, rich plum puddings, which are earning precious dollars, will be on the menu. At Cadby Hall, Lyons' London headquarters, puddings, fruitcake and tea are been prepared for the dispatch under a scheme whereby American and Canadian friends cable instructions (and dollars) for Christmas packages to be sent to homes in Britain. Special allocations of materials for this unusual "export" fare, which never leaves the country have been made by the Ministry of Food. 10 December 1947
