What regional foods are there in your area?

[PineappleSeahorse]

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?

Bridies, which I don't eat, but my brother swears by a flaky pastry onion bridie.
My favourite is butteries. They are so delicious i could eat about four, so rarely buy them.

Cream teas and honey cake

Rusks!!!

Ooh yes, watercress here too. Not with the lardy cakes though.

Coming on to say the wonderful parmo! Have to explain what it is a lot to visitors, never met someone who wasn't converted yet 😁

I love bridies. I want one now.

I've never tried Butteries though. I think that you can buy them but they aren't really a big thing here. I'm going to have to go out and get one now.

White pudding suppers.

At least I think they're just a Scottish thing but not entirely sure.

A hard fired morning roll.

Round these parts: sheftalia, kleftiko, souvla, souvlakia, keftedes, halloumi, gemista, pastichio, stifado. V meat-heavy and I only indulge about four times a year!

Butteries!

AfternoonInThePark What are Suffolk tusks?

Butteries are amazing. Good butteries are really flaky and a bit salty. So good.

Oh, rusks, sorry. I missed that.

Cream teas, pasties, gin!

Tablet, Irn Bru, Black pudding, square (lorne) sausage, white pudding, scotch pie, macaroni cheese pie & tattie fritters.

(These aren't exclusive to us, obviously, but it's what we're famous for)

Scouse.
And chips, gravy and a scallop.

Potato fritters on a roll are so good. I think they might be called potato scallops or something like that in other parts of the UK.

Patties and chip spice but think chip spice is widely available now 🤔

Cheshire cheese
Asparagus
Saffron
Cheshire 'pye' (like a pork pie)
Chester pudding (suet pudding with jam)
My mum talks about 'brawn' a rabbit stew

You don't get chip spice here, FlapjackNinja. I'll have to try it.

Think we might be close to one another @PineappleSeahorse.

Tattie scones
Slice
Ayrshire tatties
Arran mustard, oatcakes etc

Easter biscuits, which must contain Oil of Cassia.

I forgot macaroon bars and can't remember the last time I had one but I want one now. I'm going to regret starting this thread.

Bedfordshire Clangers - savoury at one end and sweet at the other.

Dorset knobs
