The Meat-First Pudding Protocol (MFPP)

Our internationally recognized three-step dining framework ensures equitable pudding distribution based on verified meat consumption.

1

Meat Is Served

A regulation portion of meat (minimum 150g) is placed before the subject. The clock begins. No negotiations. No substitutions. This is science.

2

Meat Is Consumed

The subject must consume the entirety of the meat portion. Independent observers verify plate clearance. Hiding meat in napkins results in immediate disqualification.

3

Pudding Is Awarded

Upon verified consumption, a regulation pudding is granted. Spotted Dick, treacle tart, or sticky toffee — all are within protocol parameters.

Pudding Eligibility by Food Group

Our longitudinal study reveals a clear, statistically significant correlation between meat consumption and pudding access.

Key Findings

*Reviewed by our peers at the pub. They unanimously agreed over a pint.

Landmark Study

The 1979 Wall Hypothesis

The original observation that established the causal link between meat consumption and pudding access. Published simultaneously as a rock album and a research paper.

Meta-Analysis

Cross-Cafeteria Validation

A sweeping 12-nation study confirmed the meat-pudding correlation holds across all cultures with a tradition of post-dinner dessert enforcement.

Clinical Trial

The Spotted Dick Experiment

Double-blind trial where subjects who consumed meat reported 340% greater satisfaction upon pudding delivery than the control group (who got nothing).
