To ask about your regional food that tastes delicious

[agododopushpineapple]

Am just watching an old Masterchef episode and one of the contestants is doing Greek food that I’ve never heard of.
It also got me thinking about when a friend cooked me something called pinacculty (if that’s how it’s spelled)?

Tell me about your lesser known local food specialities.

Ham and pease pudding stottie.

Fat rascal

@Polnm what’s a fat rascal?

Pan of Scouse, my Nana’s recipe.

A fat rascal, closely related to the historical turf cake, is a type of cake, similar to a scone or rock cake in both taste and ingredients. It originated in Yorkshire at least as early as the 19th century.

Ham and pease pudding stottie.

I love a ham and pease pudding stottie!

A good chip butty with batter and gravy too.

Oatcakes. Proper ones.

Sausage, mash, beans, gravy.

Nom.

I wouldn’t say it’s lesser known but I do love a bakewell pudding (not a tart) from one of the pudding shops in Bakewell.

I'm not Turkish, but miss working in NE London where I could get amazing lahmacun - can't find a Turkish place that does them where I live now, and have resorted to making my own.

OP, was your friend from the North East? My DH is from Middlesbrough and one of his favourite childhood memories is of his Mam cooking a corned beef stew which she called “panacalty”.

YY to Fat Rascals as well! One of my big treats during lockdown was getting a mail order delivery from Betty’s and having Fat Rascals for afternoon tea!

chips and proper gravy - with a savoury cake

oh and Yorkshire curd tart

Old spot sausages - yum yum!
Oh and a drip cake.

Cornish Pasty. Not any of your Ginsters rubbish though.

Potato pierogi with sour cream

I LOVE Staffordshire oatcakes! I'm in Bolton but luckily our local Sainsbury's sells them.

Best smothered in just butter or butter and marmalade or for a savoury version with bacon and cheese.

My cousins who live in Somerset always clear the shelves of them when they visit and take them home to freeze!

Sheffield Fishcakes.

Pie,mash and liquor

Potato bread and soda bread. And Veda.

Huffkins. Most importantly Gypsy Tart.

Confit de canard
Foie gras
Tortu(e) just like Staffordshire oatcakes
Tourte fromagère (like à cheesecake, with curd cheese and blackened but not burnt top)
Cabecou - disc of rinded goat cheese
Clafoutis
Walnuts
'flat' peaches and nectarines
Stuffed duck necks
Duck/chicken gizzards (lovely and tender when they've been stewed in duck fat)

Not much else!

Skigal86 oh yes! The ones without icing, mind you. Also proper Derbyshire oatcakes. Never mind the Staffs aficionados, they’ve not had the proper ones poor dears .

I vote lemon tops.
DH would say parmo.
