Food associated with regions

[StealthPolarBear]

Not a taat but inspired by a discussion on another thread about violence so I thought I'd start this one to chat.
The North East - famous for parmos and stotties
The North West -?
Yorkshire - the Yorkshire pudding. Stuff like jam?
The East Midlands - pork pie
The East Coast -?
The west Midlands -?
The South East -?
London - jellied eels??
South West - cornish pasty. Scones and cream.

Help me fill in my many gaps!

Dorset Knobs, a round hard biscuit mostly eaten with cheese.

Gregg revealed a list of regional delicacies only available in certain areas the other day. There was a list for North West, South West, Scotland etc. Nothing for the Midlands!

Greggs, that should be

Shropshire- butter buns and Shrewsbury biscuits 🤤

@Papergirl1968

That’s interesting. I know you can only get corned beef slices from Lancaster upwards. I asked about this once and was told that it was a regional thing.

EU gives protected status too a (very) few foods.

It is not like it magics them into being.

Anyway: Savoury Ducks anyone? A midlands thing I believe, like a faggot.

Bridgenorth - Butter Buns. OMG. Never found them anywhere else, think they get called sugar buns too.
Hereford do an excellent gin as well

Oh Boswell, we cross posted! I'm off to Bridgenorth weds, I shall fill the car with butter buns

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but I've only ever seen Saveloys in London chip shops. Also when I was on holiday in Lyme Regis I remember seeing lots of, and buying something called Dorset Knobs .

I think ‘ducks’ is the Yorks / Lincs / Lancs name for faggots.

Just had to google Saveloy. I’m in the NW.

Wiki said they are popular in the NE as well.

Eccles cakes
Manchester tart
Bakewell pudding

Polony is another sausage with a lurid coloured skin, like saveloy, but saveloy have to be cooked where polony is ready to eat.

Lardy cake, South. Sussex Pond Pudding.

Sussex Pond Pudding sounds intriguing. Off to google.

Just remembered Maids of Honour, just in teashop in Kew or elsewhere too?

I don't know if Maids of Honour are regional but I've been making them for 40 years in the NE @longwayoff. My sons favourite.

Fat Rascal - only ever had one at Betty’s in Harrogate.

Bee Sting - from Cumbria (a bit like a vanilla slice but with an extra layer of cream).

I think “Fat Rascals” is a term unique to Betty’s, but I have had variations in this, with variations on the name, from various places in Yorkshire.

Bakewell (Derbyshire) has the Bakewell tart!

Thanks disforddark, I know they were once a traditional favourite but I've only seen them in the famous teashop named after them. Glad to hear they're still around.

Are rissoles a Wales only thing? They are sort of like a fish cake but have corned beef instead of fish mixed with herbs and mash, rolled in bread crumbs into balls and fried, sold in a chip shop.

@calmfizz

I’ve seen rissoles in the north, but veggie ones. I don’t think they are that common but exist. Maybe they originate in Wales.

Wiki said they are popular in the NE as well.

Indeed they are. They're a key part of a saveloy dip!

The remember rissoles with mash, corned beef and onions. Suppose like hash. No breadcrumbs.
