The Story of Banoffee Pie
It's widely believed that banoffee pie was created in 1972 in a restaurant called The Hungry Monk. It's the invention of the restaurant owner Nigel Mackenzie and his chef Ian Dowding. Dowding came up initially with the idea after coming across an American dessert called "Blum's Coffee Toffee Pie" which was similar but with a coffee taste and no bananas. Apparently Dowding didn't like the dish much though as it rarely set correctly, either being too hard or too runny.
