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?

We have lobster rolls, clam chowder, fried clams, boston bakedbeans, boston cream pie, cider doughnuts, fluffernutters, cranberries, joe froggers and neco wafers.

Some are good and some not so good

Those using the correct and proper term "slice" instead of square sausage or Lorne definitely live near me...

Pizza crunch is delicious and munchy boxes are amazing.

There's nothing correct about slice! It's square sausage or Lorne if you're feeling posh.

The next village is nicknamed “the Lie Village” and is famous for meat and potato pie. We were on Hairy Bikers!

The “pie village” not “lie village”!

Hotpot, butter pie - serve both with red cabbage and peas, chips and gravy, Parkin, barmcakes

Link to stuffed chine. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuffed_chine

It's definitely slice, pineapple. Lorne is the cheap, nasty stuff that pretends to be steak slice.

Which part of Scotland says slice? I need to know so that I can go and tell you all in person just how wrong you are.

Oh wow stuffed chine sounds great.

North Ayrshire, for a start, pineapple. It's definitely slice

Poutine
Pouding chômeur i. e. syrup sponge pudding
Fantastic locally grown fruit and veg, especially apples, rhubarb and Strawberries

Pease pudding and saveloy sausages...especially tasty in s saveloy dip! Yum!

Also "pan Haggerty" but I've not had it!

Plate pies are common-bacon and egg and corned beef and potato. You can probs get these elsewhere but I haven't seen them anywhere other than the north east. Lush and so easy as don't need a pie dish!

I'm not a pie person but we'll aware of the perches vs upex debate around here @Heaviestdirtyestsoul

Didn't know peach melba was a North East thing but I bloody love them! And vanilla slice. Is that North East?

Isn't peach melba an Australian thing?

samphire, mussels, norfolk dumpling, oysters, game

on the coast doughnuts!

It's a square sausage round my way whether it's the cheap shit or a steak square sausage.

@TapasForTwo peach melba is a cake in the north east, completely different from the Australian dessert.

Ah. DH is from the north east and has never come across a peach melba cake. He is from Northumberland.

North East peach melba

Nope. DH has never seen one of those before. Where in the north east?

Durham, Greggs sell them, and supermarkets, or did, I left 20 years ago, perhaps other people on here can say?

Baltis
Cadbury's Chocolate (until the sad demise of recent years)
HP Sauce
