On the other side of the bottle is an illustration of children holding plates in their hands as if they were the heroes of Oliver Twist.

 

A recent survey by the Royal Navy Museum found that the tin of pudding in a cupboard of an old woman's home in Dorset, southern England, has a history of 111 years and is probably the oldest pudding ever preserved in the world.

 

According to the Daily Mail of November 3, a recent survey by the Royal Navy Museum found that an elderly woman in Dorset County, southern England, has 11 years of history in the cupboard of pudding can, may be the world's oldest preserved pudding.

 

The exact production time of this box of canned puddings is 1900. A British philanthropist sent 1,000 boxes of cans to the navy soldiers fighting on the front line as they fought for South Africa's colonies. One of the boxes was recently discovered and may be the only survivor to this day.

 

I don't know what it was like to have this tin flown from the front to this cupboard in Poole, Dorset, England, and it's been here for years and still hasn't been opened, but unfortunately it's no longer edible.

 

"We had a call from an old lady asking if we were interested in a can of Christmas pudding," said Victoria Ingels, cultural relics manager at the Royal Navy Museum, referring to the exposure. She said on the phone:'Since my husband died, this can has been in the kitchen cabinet. I only know that the canned food was handed down from the husband's ancestors, and the rest was not clear. But this has aroused our curiosity about the story behind pudding. "

 

Although the outer packing of the cans had been broken, the top cover had not been opened and the letters on it could still be seen. The label read: "Pick Freian's non-alcoholic raisin pudding - London, made from high-grade ingredients." On the other side are illustrations of children holding plates in their hands as if they were the heroes of Oliver Twist.  The food manual says, "open the lid for ready to eat, and can also be heated for one hour in boiling water."

 

According to a newspaper article in 1899, Agnes Weston, head of the Royal Navy Alcohol Abandonment Association, hoped to inspire the Navy's "brave men" with pudding cans at Christmas and New Year's. The word "no alcohol" on the pudding confirms that the philanthropist who sent pudding is Weston. In Devon Potter and Portsmouth, Weston established a lounge for the Royal Navy, which she was known as the "mother of the navy" and was knighted in 1918.

 

"This box of canned puddings is the only one we know is still available for the Navy that year," Ingels said. It has been preserved for more than 100 years. It's amazing. Next, museum staff will seal up the bottle, which is temporarily on display at the Royal Navy Museum in Portsmouth.
