The Queen Mum's figgy pudding is not for sale. That's what a Buckingham Palace worker found out after he tried to put up a gift of Christmas pudding from Queen Elizabeth on the Internet auction site eBay. The gift, bought at the high-class Fortnum & Mason food store in London, costs 6.25 pounds ($12.18 US).
The gift, bought at the high-class Fortnum & Mason food store in London, costs 6.25 pounds ($12.18 US). However, Ben Church, the 25-year old former palace property administrator, had it listed on eBay for a starting price of 20 pounds ($38.98 US). A palace spokesperson confirmed to the London paper Daily Mirror that "someone was dismissed" but refused to give out further details.
