Answer: 11th

Answer: Australia

Fairy floss probably originated in the Middle East where sugar was sometimes spun with sesame seeds, which infused it with a slightly nutty flavour. This traditional Persian sweet, called Pashmak, came in flavours such as rose water, orange and pistachio, with a texture much finer than the fairy floss likely to be sold at fairs in the west.

Answer: Hercule Poirot

Poirot is looking forward to enjoying a traditional English Christmas, but he is warned not to eat the plum pudding. Of course, he is there with an ulterior motive - in this case to recover a ruby that has been stolen from a prince. He solves the mystery and recovers the jewel, and the prince's reputation is saved. Because it's a short story, it's not as tortuous as many of Christie's tales, but is nonetheless enjoyable.

The short story collection, "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding and a Selection of Entrées",features both Poirot and Miss Marple.

Answer: The Wimbledon Championships

The tradition of strawberries and cream at Wimbledon started as long ago as 1877, and was further popularised by George V, who treasured them as a treat synonymous with summer, particularly enjoying eating them while watching the tennis.

"The Old Wives Tale" is a play by George Peel, first published in 1595, which features the following song, possibly one of the first references to the coupling of these two delectable foods:

"When as the rye reach to the chin,
And chopcherry, chopcherry, ripe within,
Strawberties swimming in the cream,
And schoolboys playing in the stream..."

None knows about the others. When inevitably they all meet to try Brandon's favourite soup, things get interesting.

The movie finds its origins in a series of 19 episodes, later released as a full-length film with additional footage not previously seen.

Answer: Gruel

Gruel was a soupy porridge, made with oats, rice or other grain, depending on where it was made. Because of poverty, what might have been a thick, creamy meal was watered down to make it go further and make the most of the little food they had. The grains used to make the gruel were undoubtedly often insect-ridden, due to lack of proper storage.

Because it is easily digested, it's often recommended for invalids, though for added nutrition, milk rather than water is used to make it. Additives are sometimes used to flavour it in more affluent social groups.
