DEUTSCH:
Stell dir Hunderte junge Leute in einem Park vor. Alle haben Becher mit Pudding und Gabeln. Ja, Gabeln. Keine Löffel. Alle versuchen, Pudding mit einer Gabel zu essen.Dieses seltsame Fest heißt "Pudding mit Gabel." Es begann 2025 in Deutschland. Aber warum essen die Leute Pudding mit Gabeln? Das ist ein Rätsel.Alles begann mit einem Poster in Karlsruhe, einer deutschen Stadt. Auf dem Poster stand: "Komm in den Park! Bring Pudding! Nur Gabeln!" Niemand wusste, wer das Poster gemacht hat.Junge Leute sahen Fotos auf TikTok und Instagram. Sie fanden es lustig und seltsam. Bald kam die Idee nach Berlin, Zürich und Wien. Viele Leute sagten, sie würden kommen.Das erste Treffen fand statt. Etwa zweihundert Leute kamen mit Pudding und Gabeln. Jemand rief: "Drei, zwei, eins, LOS!" Klack Klack Klack! Alle Plastikgabeln trafen gleichzeitig die Puddingbecher.Der meiste Pudding fiel auf das Gras oder ins Gesicht der Leute. Alle lachten. Es sah völlig albern aus. Aber genau das war der Sinn der Sache.Mehr Veranstaltungen fanden in anderen Städten statt. Leute begannen neue Traditionen wie Lieblingsgeschmack, bemalte Gabeln und Ess-Wettkämpfe.Warum finden die Leute das so toll? Vielleicht weil das Leben immer Gründe für alles will. Manchmal ist es schön, etwas Albernes ohne Grund zu tun.

ENGLISH:
Imagine hundreds of young people in a park. They all have cups of pudding and forks. Yes, forks. Not spoons. Everyone tries to eat pudding with a fork. This strange festival is called "Pudding mit Gabel." It began in 2025 in Germany. But why do people eat pudding with forks? That is a mystery. It all began with a poster in Karlsruhe, a German city. On the poster it said: "Come to the park! Bring pudding! Only forks!" Nobody knew who made the poster. Young people saw photos on TikTok and Instagram. They found it funny and strange. Soon the idea came to Berlin, Zurich, and Vienna. Many people said they would come. The first meeting took place. About two hundred people came with pudding and forks. Someone shouted: "Three, two, one, GO!" Clack clack clack! All the plastic forks hit the pudding cups at once. Most of the pudding fell on the grass or onto people's faces. Everyone laughed. It looked completely silly. But that was exactly the point of the whole thing. More events took place in other cities. People began new traditions like favorite flavors, painted forks, and eating contests. Why do people like it so much? Maybe because life always wants reasons for everything. Sometimes it is nice to do something silly for no reason at all.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
