10 Foods Invented in London

10 Foods Invented in London Fish and chips. The Scotch egg. The Beef Wellington. You've eaten these foods your whole life — but do you actually know where they came from? London doesn't get nearly enough credit for what it's contributed to the way the world eats. In this episode, Stan breaks down 10 foods that were genuinely invented in London — from a Jewish immigrant's fish shop in Bow in 1860, to a secret recipe locked in a City oyster bar, to a pea soup literally named after the toxic fog that was choking the city to death. Some of these go back 300 years. Some of them are still on the same menu they started on. And at least one of them has been misattributed to an entirely different country for centuries. No clickbait. Just the real stories behind food you thought you already knew. —— 🕐 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Intro 01:10 — Fish & Chips 03:05 — Scotch Egg 05:00 — Pimm's 06:55 — London Cure Smoked Salmon 08:40 — Chelsea Bun 10:15 — Beef Wellington 11:45 — Buck's Fizz 13:00 — Arnold Bennett Omelette 14:30 — Golden Syrup 16:10 — London Particular 17:55 — Outro —— If something surprised you, drop it in the comments.
