Did you know that the Cornish pasty was invented to protect tin miners from arsenic poisoning, or that the word 'salary' comes from Roman soldiers being paid their wages in salt? Why do we eat goose (or turkey) at Christmas?
Is the Scotch egg actually from Scotland and what did some retired crusaders have to do with French toast? Who was the original Earl Grey and what sauce was inspired by Parliament? Why was the world's most famous pizza named after Margarita?
How did Dame Nellie Melba inspire a peach ice cream and who was the Crepe Suzette invented for? Did you know what the romantic history is behind the Bakewell Pudding?
