According to Kilgarriff it was in the repertoire of music hall entertainer Ernie Mayne (1871 - 1937), but no information on author. According to wikipedia Mayne weighed about 20 stones (you can see him on youtube). Maybe because of this he seems to have been fond of food songs. The track listing of the cd of his "Fried Fruit Fritters" contains several food-related songs (My Meatless Day, Fried Fruit Fritters, Eggs and Bacon, The Roast Beef of Old England, No We Don't Keep Fish Only Kippers, A N'Egg And Some N'Ham And A N'Onion, I've Never Wronged An Onion). Sadly not the one of interest! He recorded in on record The Winner 3432 (you can find a listing on ebay) but the label gives no information except Ernie Mayne.The record was released in 1920. As Jim pointed out above the BL catalogue has nothing but the single entry giving F Austin as author ca1920. Mick
