It was really nice meeting with you at ARC's event. (It is quite late to make comment, but I had been busy and also had a trouble accessing TARBoard.) I had a really good time talking with you, looking at your photos and listening to the CD. It was pity that I had to leave early,
just after the flash experiment.
I have one question. You said that "Garibaldi" was a company name making squash fly biscuits. But I also heard that "Garibaldi" is used like a ordinary noun now.
Actually some ARC members have found "Mcvities' Garibaldi" or something like that. Also I found a Japanese cake shop selling homemade "Garibaldi".
So I guess that it was originally a company name, and it became so popular that people began to call squash flies "Garibaldi". Is that right?
