first line is Two Ton Common
Tutankhamen

carpenter's tool = awl, saw, hammer, vise, plier, wrench, so many to choose from
Jesus title = Christ, Lord, King, Lamb, Rabbi, Immanuel, etc

underwater breathing device could also be a snorkel
long-nosed deity could be tengu

I'm guessing that the title does have something to do with the riddle this time? Three lines, three king's names?

no, love, it's all you! I didn't even know how to approach it, and after you said there must be three names, and actually gave one, the rest was easy.

Never had Figgy Pudding but willing to try it. :)

Tayle or Figgy Pudding (Fig Pudding)
Winner of Purgatorio Wooden Spoon Competition - 15th C recipe
August 23, 2003 being AS XXXVIII

My Recipe:
1/2 cup ground almonds
1 1/2 cup red wine
1 1/2 cups dried figs, chopped
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup dates, chopped
2-3 tablespoons sugar (depending on dryness of the wine)
1/4 teaspoon each - ginger, black pepper, long pepper, nutmeg

Make almond milk from the wine and almonds. Add the fruit, spices, sugar, and almond wine to a pan. Bring to a boil. Simmer until the liquid is absorbed and a pudding is formed - about 10 - 15 minutes. Serve at this point.

Can easily be reheated by steaming in a heatable bowl or double boiler.

P.S. This isn't my recipe...found on the web. :)
