Birth of frankies

The origin of the lamb frankie is a bit different than suggested in your excellent article on Mumbai street foods [“Straight Off the Carts of Bombay,” May 11].

Frankies were invented by entrepreneur Amarjit Tibb and were not named after the frankfurter, but after Frank Worrell, the famed cricketer and captain of the West Indies cricket team that was often pitted against India in the late 1950s.
