Sorry, but...
The Puritans never banned Mince Pies
Sir Loin of Beef wasn't knighted by a king
Abernethy biscuits don't originate in Scotland
Sally Lunn wasn't a real person
Mr Lea and Mr Perrin did not invent Worcester Sauce
Fornum and Mason's did not invent Scotch Eggs
nor did Robinson's invent Barley Water
or McV's the Digestive Biscuit
