Foods you can only get in your region/city

[thequeenbeyondthewall]

I'm in Liverpool.

I have lived all over and you can only get Sui Mais here (that I have for nd anyway.)No one else outside of Liverpool seems to have heard of them.

They are pork and prawn dumplings but bigger and better and not won tons.

Recently went to Cardiff and I had a corned beef and mash thing from the chippy that was a welsh thing. It definitely began with R but it was regional to that area I think. It was fabulous.

What do you have that you don't see anywhere else?

@ifancyagreencard corned beef pasties all over the north west too! My Saturday dinner for many years :)

@MaJoady

Weirdly, this came on local radio here this morning. Huge discussion ref Corned Beef Pie / Pasties in Surrey

I'm round the kids today, as DSIL is struggling with DGS due to knee surgery. He asked what I'd like from the chippy, and when I said "saveloy" he didn't know what I meant. Northumberland.

No saveloys past Birmingham

I used to love a corned beef pasty. Haven't had one in years.

I really want a Greggs corned beef pasty now!

I used to live in the Potteries (Stoke upon Trent) and the do these lovely oat pancakes called Staffordshire Oatcakes. lovely fresh from the griddle with bacon and mushrooms in them! or melted cheese and onions. I even used to have nutella ones! Cannot for the life of me get them anywhere else but I have started learning to make them. Hairy Biker's recipe. Very yummy.

DisgracetotheYChromosome mmmm....I love saveloys. and Northumberland. Am craving them both this minute.

I wanna be on the the beach, on the Northumbrian coast (maybe Embleton area or Bamburgh)
eating a saveloy and chips...OK, maybe not on the beach right this minute as it is pitch dark and cold, but the saveloy....mmm...

I moved to Birmingham Baltis along the Ladypool Road put a on my face.

puffmais The Drift at Cresswell, our nicest local beach café, doesn't do saveloy dips, but you can have a haggis experience or a corned beef and potato pie.

Lancashire

Best meat and potato pie - home made

Bonfire night food is meat and potato pie, parkin and bonfire toffee.

I thought it was just our family till I heard Sarah Cox describe exactly the same thing.

My mum used to make "sad cake". A bit like a big Eccles cake. Currants and butter in pastry. Delish.

Loving all the butter pie references! Dh is from the SW and just does not get the butter pie love.

I LOVEEEEE Lemon Tops 😍

Everyone loves lemontops. Best things ever.

Mushy peas and mint sauce

My family is from Derbyshire, so Bakewell pudding and pyclets (and Staffordshire oatcakes from over the border). DH is a Yorkie, and introduced me to lemon tops, Botham's (Whitby) iced buns and Henderson's Relish.

We live in Leicestershire, so our local speciality is Stilton.

Hendo's really is something else. We had it on cottage pie tonight. If this was France, it would have protected status, or its own "confrerie". I think we Brits need to make more noise about our local food and drink.

Cornish pasties
Saffron buns
Cream teas - jam first then cream
Fudge
Clotted cream

A Rissole?

Aren't they made from minced eyeholes, earholes and a*rseholes?

DH is now reminiscing about Butler's (Sheffield pie shop, no longer in existence, whose pies were baked in huge metal dishes) and Henderson's Relish. "Food of the gods", apparently...

Panackelty

Singing Hinny

Pease pudding

Stottie

Went to Hull recently. Chip spice!

Pizza crunch. So wrong but oh so right.

(OP I live in Scotland and one of the local chinese takeaways sells Siu Mai. They're soooo good!)

"Haggis Pakora is indeedenvy"

Imagine being this wrong about something. Haggis pakora is the tits!

Swear To god every chippy I have been in outside of Liverpool has we heard of them 😂😂😂

Oooh I'm almost hopping from foot to foot with rage! Why has nobody mentioned Derbyshire oatcakes - much better (& thicker) than Staffordshire ones.
Also as a child we used to have Sally Lynn's, not seen it for years though.
