Part 4/7:
As fate would have it, a local baker discovered Solange’s creation and decided to sell it, calling it the "Solange Luyon bun." Over time, this name was anglicized to Sally Lunn, making it easier for English customers to pronounce.
Interestingly, the first historical mention of the bun appeared in 1776 in a poem by the Irish poet William Preston, linking the bun with public breakfasts—luxurious events where the elite mingled in Bath's pleasure gardens. However, warnings about the bun’s richness also emerged, as depicted in Philip Thicknesse's 1780 account of a young man who met a gruesome fate after enjoying too many Sally Lunn buns at breakfast.
