Sticky toffee pudding was invented in the small Cumbrian town of Cartmel, and today is apparently the favourite pudding on earth (especially in Australia, where it’s called ‘steamed date’ pudding). It’s believed to be a hybrid of Lancashire bread pudding and imported Canadian maple syrup. The nearby town of Whitehaven used to (when England’s third largest habour) smuggled dates, sugar, rum and coffee to our shores!
