The origins of the pudding are not clear, but a common story is that it was first made by accident in 1820 (other sources cite the 1860s)<ref name="telegraph">{{cite web|author=Central England |url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/uk/centralengland/720985/One-of-our-famous-tarts-I-dont-think-so.html |title=One of our famous tarts?
