The 14th-century Dutch fisherman Willem Beukelz began to pickle fish. His method of preserving fish spread, but British traders didn't pronounce his name correctly. Soon "pickles" became popular in many countries.
The Chinese dish kung pao chicken (宮保雞丁) was created in Sichuan province by Ding Baozhen (丁寶楨). He served the spicy dish when he was governor of the province from 1876 to 1886. After Ding died, people named the dish for him.
More than just foods take people's names. Many enjoy riding on a Ferris wheel, named for engineer George W. G. Ferris. He designed the first one for Chiago's World Columbian Exposition in 1893.
Many places measure temperature in Celsius. Anders Celsius was a Swedish scientist. He invented a thermometer where water's boiling point was 0 degrees and its freezing point 100 degrees. After his death in 1744, the scale was changed to its present from. Scientific laws, diseases, sports terms and places around the world use people's names. You can't escape them; they're everywhere!
