So ideally the festival is not made for eating, they’re made for racing.
Well, who wouldn’t want to have a nice big bowl of Yorkshire pudding, right? But it’s not eating we are talking about here. The idea here is all about cooking a giant-sized Yorkshire pudding and converting it into a boat! The pudding’s not going to melt, because it is made waterproof with yacht varnish. If you were to visit the place called Brawby in the U.K. during this time, you can see many pudding boats racing. The idea was first thought of by Simon Thackray, in the late ’90s. The first Yorkshire Pudding Boat Race made its way in June of 1999. The race is mostly held in the month of June or early July. So ideally the festival is not made for eating, they’re made for racing.
