IIRC baked beans are not of UK origin, but they are rather
British. Same goes for tea, hardly British.
Chillis are recent to india.
The potato isnt native to Ireland. etc etc You could probably
make a list of manufactured products if you knew who owned what.

This popular incorrect expression is probably resulting from the fact
that brand name registration is done by patent offices in many
countries.

HTH:
Some malted barley, pinches of wheat flour with a dash of
evaporated milk. T h a t's the recipe for success when it comes to Ho r l i
c k s.
James Horlick was a chemist who worked for a company which produced
dried infant food. He became ambitious after
inventing some recipes of his own. So along with his brother William, they
formed J and W
Horlick of Chicago. Their baby food was a huge success. In the 1870s, babies
often got sick as fresh
milk went bad very quickly. It was this recipe, invented by James and Wi l l
i a m that saved the day. From then on, their
business grew rapidly. It was in 1906 that James returned to Britain and
opened the Ho r l i c k s
Malted Milk Company. Later, their sons sold the brand to Sm i t h K l i n e
Beecham, now known as Gl a xo Sm i t h K l i n e, for �20 million.

And I always thought my in-laws were a bit dislexic when they called
Ovaltine, here in Oz, Ovomaltine. :-)

Nansen ordered prodigious quantities of Horlicks for the voyage of the
Fram. You can see (replicas of?) some of his stores on the ship at the
Frammuseet in Oslo.
I suppose after living off seal for a year or two you might come to
look forward to it.
