We know pizzas and hamburgers come from New York. Chicken Tikka Massala is a Brit invention. I now hear that Creme Brulee was invented in Cambridge. What more?

That 'tax doesn't have to be taxing' historian bloke said that the romans invented the burger

Completely missed the point that half the answers here are in joke mode haven't you.

Yo soy tonto? Quizas...pero usted es totalmente un gillipolla.... ="I'm stupid? - maybe but you're a total d-head" You really think someone fluent in Spanish doesn't know the correct spelling of Chilli, or Chile???

Well this is CUK. With people like SB, Spod, EO, Atw etc. on here, usually one is not wrong to assume the worst.

Yorkshire Pudding was invented in Lancashire. OK, just kidding.

According to my mother - a devout Tyke - Yorkshire Pudding was indeed not invented in Yorkshire.

It was merely Yorkshire where the recipe was found, when one of the angels dropped it.

Pasta was brought to Italy by Marco Polo. Maybe.

Kraft bought a small factory in Philadelphia to head off a legal challenge to Philladelphia Cream Cheese, which never had anything to do with the place.

Marks & Spencer "Oakham Chicken" doesn't come from Oakham. M&S merely registered the name of the town as a trademark for their chicken, but none of it is produced anywhere near there. Some of it comes from Northern Ireland, which is definitely not in Rutland.

M&S have form for this kind of thing: they used to sell "Melton Mowbray" pork pies that contained cured pork (pink), but of course a Melton pie is made with uncured pork (grey).
