Empress of Blandings

The Empress of Blandings is the name of a fictional pig featured in a number of comic short stories and novels by British writer P.G. Wodehouse. Her enormous girth enables her to win "fat pig" prizes at local fairs, making her invaluable in the eyes of local farmers.

The Empress is an enormous pig owned by doddering but harmless Lord Emsworth, the wealthy, upper-class owner of a castle who is obsessed with keeping her weight up. Her role in stories is usually limited to eating large amounts of food or on occasion being kidnapped by a rival pig-owner, but she serves as the foil for the central Lord Emsworth joke that trivial matters (such as winning prizes at the local fair) are vitally important whereas important matters (such as the feelings of family members) are irrelevant.
