Several foods have an association with the city. ''[[Sally Lunn bun]]s'' (a type of [[teacake]]) have long been baked in Bath. They were first mentioned by name in verses printed in the [[Bath Chronicle]], in 1772.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Cakes/SallyLunnCake.htm |title=History of Sally Lunn Cake |access-date=10 December 2007 |work=Whats cooking America |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080106085446/http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Cakes/SallyLunnCake.htm |archive-date=6 January 2008 |url-status=live }}</ref> At that time they were eaten hot at public breakfasts in Spring Gardens. They can be eaten with sweet or savoury toppings and are sometimes confused with ''[[Bath bun]]s'', which are smaller, round, very sweet and very rich. They were associated with the city following [[The Great Exhibition]]. Bath buns were originally topped with crushed [[comfit]]s created by dipping [[caraway]] seeds repeatedly in boiling sugar; but today seeds are added to a 'London Bath Bun' (a reference to the bun's promotion and sale at the Great Exhibition).<ref>{{cite book |title=Oxford Companion to Food p 114 |last=Davidson |first=Alan |year=1999 |isbn=978-0-19-211579-9 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/oxfordcompaniont00davi_0 }}</ref> The seeds may be replaced by crushed sugar granules or 'nibs'.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bath buns |url=http://recipewise.co.uk/bath-buns |publisher=Recipewise |access-date=26 August 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019180701/http://recipewise.co.uk/bath-buns |archive-date=19 October 2013 }}</ref>

Bath has lent its name to one other distinctive recipe&nbsp;– ''[[Bath Oliver]]s''&nbsp;– a dry baked biscuit invented by Dr William Oliver, physician to the [[Mineral Water Hospital]] in 1740.<ref name="oliver">{{cite web |url=http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/famous-cornish-people/oliver.htm |title=Dr William Oliver, Bath Oliver Biscuit Inventor |access-date=9 December 2007 |work=Cornwall calling |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071116174136/http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/famous-cornish-people/oliver.htm |archive-date=16 November 2007 |url-status=live }}</ref> Oliver was an anti-obesity campaigner and author of a ''"Practical Essay on the Use and Abuse of warm Bathing in Gluty Cases"''.<ref name="oliver"/> In more recent years, Oliver's efforts have been traduced by the introduction of a version of the biscuit with a plain chocolate coating.
