Christmas Queries - In 1999 Queen Elizabeth ll changed her suppliers of Christmas puddings. They used to be supplied by Fortnum and Masons, who supplies them now?
The correct answer is 'Tesco'
Many an eyebrow was raised when this was announced. Fortnum and Masons had been grocers to the royal family for so long that to change to Tesco was seen as a step downwards. It seems the reason for this is that the queen simply prefers the taste of the cheaper puddings, though she still has her mince pies delivered from Fortnum and Masons.
