Dock pudding is a
bistort (sometimes called "gentle dock" or "Passion dock", though it is not a member of the genus Rumex), together with oatmeal, nettles, onion, and seasoning to taste.[2] Other ingredients are added but each personal family recipe does differ. Traditionally the "pudding" is fried in a frying pan along with bacon. Starting in 1971, an annual World Dock Pudding Championship is held at the local community centre in the village of Mytholmroyd.[3]
The dish is most strongly associated with Calderdale in modern times, but is not unique to that region in history. Like
