Marinara derives from the Italian word for sailor, marinaro. Due to these origins I have seen many people say that marinara sauce must contain something from the sea, usually anchovies. Actually this is not the case, the origins of marinara sauce are that it is the sauce that they made in Naples for the sailors when they returned from the sea.

The London department store Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented Scotch eggs in 1738, but they may have been inspired by the Moghul dish nargisi kofta ("Narcissus meatballs")

The Italians are a great bunch of lads and it was merely a coin flip to decide which I would prefer to be between Irish and Italian. My secret quarter is for only me to know but I can tell you now it is not ginger because I have a soul and gingers do not have souls. I repeat, gingers do not have souls
