Who invented the Tea Cosy?
One popular theory goes that an Irish farmer in reaching across the dinner table accidentally dropped his hat from his head onto the teapot. When he later removed the hat he found that the tea was still nice and hot. His wife then decided to knit a purpose-made tea 'hat' for the pot, and she called this hat a 'cosy'.
