Lady Tasting Tea box discrepancies (Ch 5) #212

Closed abcarstensen closed 11 months ago

"Sir Ronald Fisher was apparently at a party when a lady declared that she could tell the difference when tea was added to milk vs. milk to tea."

This is very pedantic, but in Salsburg's The Lady Tasting Tea, it's described as afternoon tea, and occurring before Fisher was knighted.
