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).
