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?

Grilled calcots (like leek spring onion)
patata bravas (potato’s with slightly spiced sauce)

As well as the aforementioned Yorkshire delicacies we have the Barnsley chop and Barnsley Brew tea.

I go to a lot of food festivals and get to try all sorts of cheeses, gins and chutneys that are made/produced locally. Rhucello is a rhubarb flavoured liqueur thst is very tasty.

xiona75 · 30/06/2019 05:42

Brandy sours, kokkinelli, Zivania, chickpeas in tomato sauce, courgettes with scrambled eggs, courgette flowers in batter with carob syrup, lentil with rice

welliesarefuntowear · 30/06/2019 06:24

Oatcakes. Best cure for a hangover ever. I'm also a fan of butteries. My Dad is from NE Scotland and we would always look forward to them when we went up to see my relatives although they are getting harder to buy now.

elQuintoConyo · 30/06/2019 06:36

Calçots (cross between a spring onion and a leek)
Turron
Polverons
Pets de Monja (Nun's Farts, small round biscuits)
Chartreuse
Black rice (squid in its own ink)

Germany, near the black forest and Alsace region of France:

Flammkuchen - similar to pizza but has a very thin, delicate, pastry-like base, instead of tomato sauce is topped with creme fraiche and then your toppings of choice. Traditional is salty ham/bacon and onions. Does not need to have cheese although many varieties do.

Neuer Wein - Young wine - only available for a few weeks in the Autumn. It's a partially fermented grape wine which is cloudy, slightly fizzy (from the fermentation) and very sweet. It tastes a bit like fizzy grape juice/like a grape version of Appletizer and is deceptively alcoholic. Usually served with Flammkuchen or Zweibelkuchen which is Onion Tart, which is sort of like Flammkuchen on steroids - pastry/dough crust, and a filling made mostly of onions with some bacon, eggs, milk, sour cream.

Schwarzwalder Schinken which is a kind of cured ham, very thin sliced, looks like bacon at first glance (it's the same cut as back bacon). Very moreish.

Brezeln 🥨 (obviously) - big doughy bread pretzels dotted with salt crystals. No German child under the age of 5 is seen without part of one clutched in at least one hand. You can buy them ready-buttered from bakeries.

People of Scotland, tell us all about deep fried pizza... Smile
