Spotted this misleading bench today. I was sceptical. The use of the word “near” makes it technically correct, but Boudicca is said to have died on a different bit of Watling Street to where this bench is placed, about 60 miles south east of this location… And it was most likely AD60 or 61…

Sadly my shorthand reading relatives are no longer compos mentis, so can't help with that bit, but it looks like a version of "chocolate fridge cake", so suspect method is similar to www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes...
