Bananas are from Derbyshire, yes? (TRO top of page 18). We were given this fact during a local food night in the HF place in the Peak District.

I know that they hide the deadly black tarantula. Which coincidentally is also eaten raw in Belgium. With mayo, obvs.

Are you confusing bananas with Bakewell Pudding Greppers? Or sheep maybe?

No, not at all. See also what TRO said at the top of the last page.

Buy a banana and it will almost certainly be descended from one plant grown at an English stately home. But now we face losing one of the world's most-loved fruits.

Sitting in picture-perfect Peak District grounds, Chatsworth House seems an unlikely birthplace for today's global banana industry.

But practically every banana consumed in the western world is directly descended from a plant grown in the Derbyshire estate's hothouse 180 years ago.

Can we confirm that Derbyshire is not part of Belgium?

I was born in Derbyshire and I do not like mayo on my fries. Is that proof enough?

We’ve dodged a bullet, mind, as they could have called it a Derbyshire bent stick fruit.

Avocados are repulsive, made of rotten green lard and come from Derbyshire. FACT!
