I believe SkyTV is a Rupert Murdock enterprise, so maybe it will show up on
Fox.
If you look a little further down the article, the cinnamon sauce is based
on a medieval quotation. Obviously the author of the piece has no sense of
historic change.
I also wonder about the chives. They're of Eurasian origin and migrated to
Greece and Italy. I wonder if they were in England during the Neolithic. I
can't recall any archeological evidence for them and without it, I would
place their entry into the British Isles no earlier than 2000 BCE with the
Mycenean tin trade. I need to do some checking on the data.
