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.

👍

Many of these dishes aren’t regional at all, just old. Vimeo? Haslet? Polony? All widely once available (if not today).

chorley cakes-similar to eccles cakes but made with shortcrust pastry, I prefer them
black pudding

forgot-parkin, it isn't bonfire night without parkin!

Scouse with beetroot, brown sauce and crusty bread

Babbies yed gets a thumbs up here too. Had one as soon as we got up north!

Patties and chip spice (and definitely try them together, you don't know what you're missing!)

Good to see a few of my kind on here

Lemon top from Pacittos!

Accept no imitations

@extremity1

You forgot Montreal bagels I think I missed those the most after moving from Montreal, although a good steamie with fries and gravy from La Belle Province comes a not too distant second

Sussex pond.

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte

Bubespitzle

(little willies)

This thread is basically a list of regional dishes

Given that the thread title is To ask about your regional food that tastes delicious it's not surprising is it?

I was replying to the poster above me who asked 'does England really have any regional dishes'.

@Bluesheep they were replying to someone else who said 'Does England really do regional dishes? Sure a few types of cake or sausage (usually widely available) but it's hardly France/Italy'. Clearly from this thread we do have regional dishes which they were pointing out!

Xpost Thursday!

@millymoo1202 oh yeah...love a bit of stovies! Love them in the evening at weddings!

thursday sorry I missed that part!

I'm going to second, or even third or fourth Staffordshire oat cakes and lobby. I once asked my grandfather why it's called lobby and he said "because if it's in the pantry, lob it in"

Does England really do regional dishes? sure a few types of cake or sausage (usually widely available) but its hardly France/Italy

I think the difference is we embrace food from other cultures more in Britain

I really don’t like stotties. They’re always dire. I just don’t understand the love for them.

Now a proper morning roll (not those disappointments masquerading as them available in English supermarkets) with square sausage is a thing of brilliance.

As a child I used to have beef olives all the time. They don’t seem to exist down here.

Any other Teessiders remember fadgies....

Meat and potato pie, North West delicacy. DS who is Worcestershire born and bred is a convert and introduces his friends to them when we head up north. He is a teenage boy though so perfect snacking food!

Most supermarkets have frozen beef olives. Cant vouch for them though .

Just spotted the Rum Butter from Cumbria, my great grandmother (from Cumbria) was a brilliant baker and left my mum her recipe books. Rum butter is a distant memory from past Christmas’s. I remember my grandfather putting it on cream crackers for us. That’s a new one for Christmas this year.

Currant slice ( or fly pie). A layer of tea soaked currants and sugar with pastry top and bottom.
I can feel a weekend of baking coming on.
