Children 'lack knowledge on food'

[RedM]

Many children are confused about what areas of Britain its traditional dishes originate from, a survey suggests.

 

Of 1,000 children in England aged between eight and 13, 54% did not know pasties come from Cornwall and 57% did not know haggis originates in Scotland.

My favourite bit:

About 80% of those questioned did not know Lancashire is home of the hotpot, with 13% in the North West thinking it comes from London.

Sounds about right, how often does Haggis come up in conversation if you are not Scotish:)
