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.

Butteries
Lorne sausage
Tablet
White pudding

Easter biscuits wih cassia oil and currants www.foodsofengland.co.uk/easterbiscuits.htm. yum.

Adding a Sheffield fishcake to my list to try when I'm next there.

I’m a mix of Scottish, North English and Welsh, so I love:
Stottie
Pease pudding
Welsh cakes
Cock-a-leekie soup
Haggis
Lorne sausage
Clootie dumpling

But where I live now, we have the joy of Brezn, Weißwurst, Reibedatschi and at the moment, also Zwetschgendatschi. Yum! 😋

Ooh I'm a Geordie and recognise lots!

My personal favourites (and specialities!) are:

corned beef and potato plate pie (shortcrust pastry, mashed potato and corned beef surf onion salt and black pepper)-so quick and easy to make, so tasty!

Bacon and egg plate pie..even easier!

Yorkshire puddings (it's a skill! My mam handed over her crown when I produced my bad boys for Sunday lunch!).. similarly toad in the hole... there's a knack!

Pease pudding is lovely!

Also bacon broth for new year... except I can't stand barley!

Oh tablet.. I love it
I can't stop eating Edinburgh rock, only tried it this year! And stockley fruit rock

@Gancanny

Ham and pease pudding stottie. Stottie in general - buttered stottie dipped in soup or stew is pure stodgy comfort. Pan Haggerty. Singing Hinnies. Saveloy dip.

Basically carbs and lard and lots of it

Saveloy Dip. Yes.

It's been so many years since I had one...

Pork pies and Stilton cheese!

Scotch pies! Especially the chicken curry ones!

You can get them here and I crave them after every visit to Scotland!

Pasties (despite what the Cornish say, they definitely originated in Devon )
And Cream Teas - I actually prefer these the Cornish way

From the North:
Eccles cakes
Parkin

Staffordshire oatcakes are indeed the food of the gods. We even have a boat that travels up and down the county selling them called the B’Oatcake.

Cullen skink, butteries and macaroni pies!

@mbosnz

NZ whitebait patties, crayfish, and marinaded mussels. . .

Sounds delicious! 😋

In the city I live in, crayfish boils (they're called crawfish here) are a big deal. It's quite an ethnically diverse city so there's always fusion foods. A specialty is Viet-Cajun crawfish that has cajun seasonings along with garlic butter and Thai basil served with noodles.

Glamorgan sausages
Welsh cakes
Bara brith
Caerphilly cheese

Parmo

Proper cave aged Cheddar cheese, it's nothing like the mass produced stuff. And scrummy .

I meant scrumpy

Black Country orange/ battered chips

Pease pudding HAS to come from Dixons the Pork Butchers. Any other pease pudding pales in comparison.

Dicksons the Pork Butchers!

Don’t buy your pease pudding from a 1980s electrical store.

Teesside parmo

Saltkjöt og baunir - stew made with salted lamb, yellow split peas and root vegetables. Traditional for Shrove Tuesday.

Plokkfiskur - Dish made from white fish, potatoes and oniony bechamel sauce all sort of mixed up together. Served with a sort of dark rye bread that is a bit like malt loaf but less sweet.

Tinned roe from the chip shop, I've asked for it in the Lakes and Cornwall and nobody had a clue what I was on about.

I just had lease pudding for the first time this year (originally from Newcastle but living in Leicester and can’t get it here). It was like bloody nectar!!! Cleared dicksons out to take it home.

Saveloy Dips are my comfort food.

@Mammyloveswine I love corned beef plate pie! Do you have a special recipe for your egg and bacon one? My mam used to make it and I've tried recreating it but even done basically it doesn't taste the same, I don't know if I'm missing something and she can't remember if she used to do something special with it.
