"The Garibaldi biscuit was named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, an Italian general and leader of the fight to unify Italy, who made a popular visit to Tynemouth in England in 1854. It was here he accidentally sat on an Eccles Cake and 'invented' the biscuit."
I wish I could be in Manchester on 2nd July, because Kraftwerk are playing at the Velodrome, but alas, my exam on this very Italian history (Gramsci, to be specific) is on the 4th.
