Just want to contribute my experience with puddings, Figgy Duff. Newfoundland is a curious mix of cultures. Even though I grew up with British grandparents and a Newfoundlander mother, their customs weren't all that different or should I say strange, from everyone else (does fried baloney count?), it wasn't until I lived in St. John's that I experienced very interesting traditions. Figgy Duff was one of these.
