Oh dear, @jennyss - I know just how upset I would have been if it was my best uke! :(
Love it, @AllyJay - it really is as much about tradition & family heritage as anything!
One of my Grandmothers actually had a little bag of solid silver 'trinkets' she used to put in the cake instead of coins. (Coins were bigger tho & probably easier not to accidentally swallow!) Everyone was in fear of swallowing one of these trinkets, cos they knew they'd get a dose of 'something' to make it 'come out' again sometime soon ...... so we used to squash the pudding flat, to find them, before ingesting them! LOL
