Sweet or savoury. I'm fascinated by the different foods that are available in the U.K and Ireland(or elsewhere) and being a greedy guts I'm keen to sample them.

What delights are specific to your area?

Very specific to my area but we are rather fond of a decent parmo Smile

Thought of another one, a lemon top. Delicious on a hot day!

P.S I appreciate that there may be some crossover between areas and countries.

In my area/country Empire biscuits, Potato scones, Snowballs, Tablet and Pineapple tarts come to mind, but there must be others.

I had to Google Parmo but it looks sinfully good. Off to Google the rest.

Ireland based. We have local buffalo mozzarella and oatmeal. Our local butcher sources most of his meat within a 10km area. We have an excellent organic veg farm nearby

HermioneWeasley · 29/06/2019 19:47

I don't know why but for some reason I wasn't expecting Goosnargh duck to actually be duck. It sounds good though. I love duck.

We have a great selection of gin distilleries but I suspect every area has now.

Watercress and asparagus are local celebrated foods if I go left out of our road and Dorset apple cake is a local greatness if I turn right!

We are on the Hampshire/Dorset border.

Staffordshire oatcakes. Versatile food of the god's!

Justonedayatatime11 · 29/06/2019 19:49

Cromer crab! Binham blue cheese.

We have Maldon sea salt and Tiptree jam. We are in the Essex/Suffolk border and my mum came from Suffolk she makes these lovely Suffolk tusks.
