What got me thinking about that was from when i went to a chippy in whitby and asked for a chip butty open. I ended up with chips wrapped up, and a breadcake in a plastic bag tied in a knot. Maybe it was just the poor lady who was confused ???
Besides a chip butty, chips IN the breadcake, Yorkshire pudding has to be the local favourite along with meat and potatoe pie with Hendersons relish.
And has anyone ever heard of mock crab? An American relative of my Nan's neighbour gave it to her. Tomatoes, eggs and cheese all boiled and mushed together in a pan and then slapped on toast.

Morning Yorkshirelass!
Us Yorkies must be early risers!! lol
I love Parkin Pigs! Pie and Mushy Peas and Bonfire Toffee!
Yorkshire puds with a bit of Sage and onion stuffing in them floating in gravy thickened with Yorkshire pudding mixture!
We're healthy eaters in out house.....lol
-
lol morning fitty
I totally agree with the mix in the gravy 8)
My first sunday dinner was tragic. I put too much mix in the gravy. Was kinda strange, just a brown powdery liquid, the flour content killed the oxo...... but i'd used self raising instead of plain so also created yorkshire biscuits WEY HEY
-
yum yum yum .................. Yorkshire puddings are my favourite ;D ;D I also love the large Yorkshires filled with meat, veg and loads of gravy ;)
-
My favourite is Pie & Mash. Since moving from London over a year ago, I've not had it :'( - can't get it where I live, and even if I could, I bet it wouldn't be the same . Can somone make some and post it to me??????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I lived in Lancs when I was young and a meal I enjoyed was black tripe and elder,served with sliced tomatoes,sprinkled liberally with vinegar and pepper and eaten with bread and butter. I even enjoyed it when I discovered what it was!! (my dad preferred honeycomb tripe). The tripe was bought from the local Tripe Shop! No this wasn't in the dark ages but the sixties! My grandma liked cow heel or pigs trotters (the latter are now appearing on menus in posh restaurants). Having moved away the food I like to buy when I go "home" is Bacon Ribs, boiled and served with cabbage and lovely creamy mash,yummy! :)

Whether it is local or thousands of miles away it is always better if someone else has cooked it!
Plum Bread - which I had never heard of until I came to Lincolnshire. Made with cold tea, dried fruit (no plums) and spices, all boiled together before being baked in the oven. Delicious with lashings of butter and a lump of cheese.

Sounds a bit like a Malt Loaf , Jill
ummmm Malt loaf! now theres a thought..........

Jill,
Round my way they just call it Boiled Cake, good thing is it is fatless, until you slather the butter on that is. ;D
I made 2 last week and took them to church for the kids Harvest Service, they went down a treat. 8) Almost as good as the Buttons Cake my daughter (Jess, 10) made for the kids.
Kazza.

I remember 'mock crab' from when I was a kid in Liverpool in the 50's only we didn't have tomatoes in it but mustard powder. Never liked it cos it was too hot and spicy.
My late brother absolutely loved Tripe. White is was and boiled in milk Ugh. Tried to make me eat it but no way was I going to eat that stuff. Although I do love black pudding. Had some for breakfast this morning but living in Sussex it's nowhere near the same as Lancashires black puddings.
Mind you I think the same of white cheshire cheese. It's nowhere near the same sharp taste as what I call proper cheshire cheese. Maybe as I have hit my second childhood it my taste buds that have changed, Who knows?
;D ;D ;D ;D

My fave when living up home in newcastle was a Stottie cake Breakfast :P Stottie cakes are a round fairly flat bread very moist and light inside which was then filled with bacon, egg, mushrooms, black pudding, and anything else you could stuff in it. YUM!
Up in Scotland my fave was buttries fresh from the bakers every morning. Can't get them south of the border unfortunately :(
other faves are hamshank soup with huge fluffy dumplings
Pan haggerty a kind of potato and cornbeef hotpot but done on top of the stove...ermmmm.. got to be loads more :)

Hello All
Being a dinkee di aussie and have married into an Italian family I now love pasta and I think I cook it pretty darn good as well. Learn't off the husband.
You can't beat good homemade pasta with sauce.
Though I am now a good deal heavier than what I was when I met him, thanks to my love of pasta.

South west dishes include the famous cornish pasties, clotted cream and scones, devon roast (meat cooked in water with onions and spuds around it - yummy), hogs pudding (as it comes or fried) a sort of white black pudding, saffron cake spread with butter, and strangest of all the cornish star gazey pie which is made of herrings under a shortcrust lid with the fish heads and tails sticking out of the crust!

[quote .... cornish star gazey pie which is made of herrings under a shortcrust lid with the fish heads and tails sticking out of the crust!
sounds like the Malaysian national dish: Fish head curry.
You daren't look at what you're eating, as it stares back at you. Nothing so offputting as being watched while you're eating. Sounds disgusting, looks worse, tastes lovely though.

My favorites come from my mixed ethnic heritage.
Pirogies and sauerkraut with kielbasa (my grandfather is Ukrainian)
and
Roast Beef covered in salt and garlic until it is all crispy with Yorkshire pudding. (my grandfather is British).
I am sooooo hungry now! :P
-
I forgot...my grandma loved pickled pigs feet. My brother and I used to run out of the room scared when we were kids when the bottle was brought out. We thought it was Miss Piggy. Icky!!
-
Mine is similar to Graceland's Brawn but we call it Pork Cheese & make it out of the trotters in Norfolk.
My real favourite is Samphire, a sort of seaweed which you boil, pull off the stalks & eat with loads of bread & vinegar. Rots your guts but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
