It`s a celebration comprising two firsts — with Queen Elizabeth II becoming the first British monarch to be commemorated with a Platinum Jubilee (her 70th year on the throne), residents from across the country are being invited to recreate the pudding, a classic English dessert. These creations must be genuine and accurate, with the ability to make people smile.

Interestingly, the origin of the English pudding goes back to 1305 and was used to describe a ‘meat-filled animal stomach’ — a far cry from the milky custard-like comfort food that most people recognise it as.
