cidered abroad Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 1 hour ago, PHILINFRANCE said: Hi @cidered abroad. I seem to recall you are a fan of Bologna, so you are no doubt familiar with the 'cappellacci di zucca' dish @italian dave and I have been discussing. Any thoughts/comments on this 'strange' delicacy? Sorry but not a fan, just went to Bologna on holiday in 2017. It's pumpkin ravioli from the city of Ferrara which is north east of Bologna en route to Venezia. Never tasted it so as a lover of Italian food, may have a go at making it. The word Zucca must be the original name of pumpkin and zucchini is a diminutive that means courgette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Queen of the South play in Dumfries and are the only club whose name appears in the Bible. Regarding the various comments about Port Vale, they were named Burslem Port Vale after Burslem one of the 5 towns of Stoke on Trent they play in. Earlier in their history they played in Hanley the next town to Stoke where you've guessed it Stoke City play. Clyde are named after a river, Ross County play in Dingwall and Hibernian Is the Gaelic name for Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the Doonhamers do appear in The Bible so, too, do Arsenal. They are however the only side whose ground is named after a Prime Minister (and dump it was when I visited - since a kid I've always looked for their results...) For the Scottish side of things look up the utterly brilliant Jonathan Meades' series 'Off Kilter', the episode in which he uses his sat nav to attempt to traverse Scottish football grounds.

handsofclay Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 As for Crystal Palace they are named after an area. The Crystal Palace, built by Joseph Paxton for the 1851 Great Exhibition, was moved to Sydenham Hill in 1854. The area around it then became called Crystal Palace including the sports ground where Bristol City contested the 1909 Cup Final. Crystal Palace the club were formed way after 1854 so were named after the area in which they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
