a 16th-century monastery building in East Sussex. 5.1. _____ After the most urgent tasks had

been completed, the owners got down to putting the finishing touches to the interior.

They called the place The Hungry Monk, a clear reference to its former residents.

In 1971, Nigel Mackenzie, the owner, decided a new dessert was essential on their menu.

At that time Ian Dowding, the head chef, had just returned from America, so he suggested

a recipe he had brought back from his trip – Blum’s coffee toffee pie. 5.2. _____ A few

experiments with adding apples or oranges proved to be disappointing. But Mackenzie would

not give up and he suggested using bananas, which was a stroke of genius. Now it was time

to invent the name. Having tested a few ideas, the duo finally opted for banoffee, a combination

of words denoting the main ingredients of the dessert – bananas and toffee.

The response from the restaurant’s clients was immediate. Some rang from London before

setting out to check if banoffee was still on the menu. 5.3. _____ But it was not only numerous

eateries that took advantage of banoffee’s fame. Supermarkets also sold their own variants,

which truly appalled the creators. Meanwhile, the recipe for genuine banoffee appeared in

a cookbook, and later the dessert gained its own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Banoffee was a great success and many people thought it must be from America. Therefore,

Mackenzie decided to challenge those who were questioning its origin. He offered

a 10,000-pound prize to anyone who could prove banoffee was not British. 5.4. _____ It said:

The Birthplace of one of the World’s Favourite Puddings. The dessert has indeed won the

hearts and stomachs of thousands across the world.
