Did You Know !

 

I thought ... lets have a did you know post! So without further ado here are five facts!

1) Avocados are a fruit, not a vegetable.

They are technically considered a single-seeded berry - more here

2) Australia is wider than the moon.

The moon is 3400 km in diameter, while Australia's diameter from east to west is almost 4000 km - more here

3) The Ancient Romans used to drop a piece of toast into their wine for good health.

Hence why we raise a toast - more here

4) A chefs Hat has 100 pleats.

It's meant to represent the 100 ways to cook an egg - more here

5) The worlds longest walking distance is 14,000 miles.

You can walk from Magadan in Russia to Cape Town in South Africa. It requires no flying or sailing - just bridges and open roads. Map showing walk is here to date no-one has done this walk!

I hope you enjoyed these five facts - did you know any of them?
I only knew 1) and 4)
Do please share your thoughts in the comments.
