Cooking Under The Thames!
A little shopkeeper in London once wagered that he could cook a pudding ten feet below the surface of the Thames. The wager was laid for £100, and the shopkeeper got to work. In _ the presence of an interested crowd, he mixed his pudding, put it in a large tin vessel, enclosed it in a sackful of lime, then lowered it to the required depth in the river, ...1'wo and a-half hours later, report says-but you need not believe it-he hauled the sack to the surface-and there was the pudding, beautifully cooked-if anything, declared the judges, a tritle overdone!
