These are sometimes fun, so I thought I'd start a thread. Here's the first one:
When Sid Bone was murdered, in a rather compromising position, Inspector Twiggit suspected Sid's wife Nora. Nora however, steadfastly maintained that on the evening of the murder she was in a restaurant with a man friend. Twiggit had found an entry in Nora's diary for that evening which apparently confirmed her alibi as follows : TIPS THE BRUSHED CHEFS. However, Twiggit realised that the message was coded, and that each letter could be moved either one place forwards or one place backwards in the alphabet to reveal a startling confession. What was the hidden confession?

You're close! Take a look at the last word to change it. Hint: this item is more well-known in Europe.
