“World Black Pudding Throwing Championships”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The World Black Pudding Throwing Championships are held annually in Ramsbottom, Lancashire, outside the Oaks pub on Bridge Street on the second Sunday of September.^[1].

Local legends claim the tradition dates back to the War of the Roses. Warring factions of the House of Lancaster and the House of York at a battle in Stubbins, Lancashire in 1455 are said to have run out of ammunition and resorted to throwing food at each other; black pudding from Lancashire and Yorkshire puddings from Yorkshire.^[2]

Revived by residents in the 1980s, it has been a popular custom in the town ever since, drawing thousands of spectators to watch every year.^[3]

Competitors must knock down the most Yorkshire puddings, placed on a 7.6 metre high plinth, by hurling three black puddings at them.
