The world of cooking has many legends, rumors and myths. We are trying to gather all the facts and present them to you.
Plums grown in Britain originated from fruits of Damascus, Syria and Persia. Plums were brought into this country by a member of the Gage family, hence their link with the gage group of fruits. The famous Victoria Plum was found as a seedling in a garden in Sussex and the Czar was named after a visiting Russian Emperor when the fruit was introduced to the market over one hundred years ago. Plums have stones like human fingerprints, each one being unique to a particular variety. Experts were able to identify over one hundred individual plum stones found on the flagship of Henry VIII’s Mary Rose, which sank in 1545 and was raised in the 1980s.
