Anna Melba

This may be a first for MQL: a question to which there is no correct answer.

Most people who heard the question would probably have been able to name two women, famous in the arts, who had puddings named after them: Anna Pavlova and Nellie Melba. Trouble is, neither of them was an Australian ballerina. Anna Pavlova was a Russian ballerina; Nellie Melba (born Helen Mitchell) was an Australian singer.

This is a clear case of someone writing a question without giving it enough thought. How it managed to get through vetting, Goodness only knows.
