Garibaldi Eccles Cake story[edit]

I laughed and laughed when I read that - thank you for posting it. What a shame there is no space in Wikipedia for things that ought to be true. I was a documentary film maker for 10 years and a colleague at the BBC once said to me "Never let an awkward fact get in the way of a good story."

I did wonder for a while about setting up an alternative wikipedia that has articles in it which ought to be true but aren't. Hugh Mason (talk) 23:41, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm confused. For posting what and where? Erianna (talk) 04:49, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aha my turn to apologize - while browsing the article 'Garibaldi Biscuit' I misread the history. I thought you had added the story below, which is too good to be true but made me laugh anyway:

The ancient story of the Garibaldi is also well documented in the British media. It is said that Giuseppe Garibaldi, whilst on his travels to the popular market town of Leeds in 1861, came across the young Englishman Gordon Bennett, who offered him the quintessential English treat - the Eccles cake. Unfortunately, prior to eating his cake he was sidetracked by a sudden bowel movement and had to leave his cake unattended. Upon his return, Garibaldi had no idea where he had left his item of confectionary. Disappointed and forlorn, he plopped himself on a nearby chair, feeling an odd squishing sensation spread through his behind - he had indeed sat on the Eccles cake, thus creating the Garibaldi biscuit.

Please add edit summaries[edit]

I know the edit summary will often be longer than the edits you make, but it saves time for everyone looking for vandalism when a logged-in user includes one. Use the short abbreviations like ce, wk, etc. if you prefer, but anything is better than nothing. (From a fellow WikiGnome) Mark Hurd (talk) 00:16, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
