Also in Derbyshire and was going to say those things.

Rowies.

Where are you? We had that for school dinners in Berkshire. Very sickly - I couldn't eat it now but loved it then.

If you like Eccles cakes I imagine you will also like Chorley cakes.

Yorkshire curd tart. Betty’s do an excellent version

In Yorkshire its apparently normal to serve fruity Christmas cake with crumbly cheese but I never liked it.
The Fat Rascals and the curd tarts are nice though

Scallops
Not sea food but large slices potatoes dipped in batter and fried.
Get them.from chip shops in Birmingham.
Divine.

I have moved about a bit, but lived in the heart of Blue Vinny country. The aroma of the cheese is quite different to the pungent smells of the dairy grasslands that permanently inhabits the nostrils.

Swansea - laver bread
Liverpool - scouse
Staffordshire - oatcakes, pikelets (Derbyshire versions also available)

Eccles cakes are nicer than Chorley cakes

@Gummybear23 , we had them where I'm from too.

My Grandma used to serve Xmas cake with cheese, just over the Lancashire border i don't think it was necessarily crumbly cheese though.

Used to have this with school dinners. Loved it

A strong cheddar is the cheese of choice with Xmas cake for us (Yorkshire) but I know some other folks prefer crumbly cheese.

Not Wensleydale?!

Lardy Cake and Wiltshire ham

hendersons relish

Yes I think it was probably cheddar she served it with .

No Wensleydale.

Chippy sauce.
All the other specialities are Scottish generally:
Tattie scones
Square sausage
Haggis
Scotch pies
Irn bru
