British regional foods

[Bleakhouse1879]

I am fortunate to live in a part of Britain that has some wonderful local delicacies, such as

Black pudding
tripe
black peas
sticky toffee pudding
butter pies.

It is my mission to sample as many varieties of regional fayre from around Britain as possible. What local delicacies do you have in your area and have you tried them?

Oooh manchester tart....like a piece of heaven
Corned beef hash or tater hash
Hollands pies from the chippy
Manchester egg....like a scotch egg but rolled in black pudding instead of sausage meat

Glad you liked the link :)

Its amazing what's out there in t'internet, isn't it?

Champagne style wine round here (Surrey)

My mum's from Cornwall. As well as pasties, I remember lovely yellow saffron cake - a sort of sweet bread. Heavenly.

And I grew up in the North East - stotty cake, floury baps (both very soft white bread) and Craster kippers. Having stotty cake with kippers for tea makes me so nostalgic.

Patties- potatoes mashed withsage and deep fried. Food of ye gods.

Chip spice.

OP can you still get butter pie in a bread cake from Bolton market do you know?

Used to live them as a treat after going on all the water slides

patties here are mashed potato, fish and sage . I just cannot make them the way my dear Mum did , but I try!
And we always had chitterlings with salad , I must see if I can find anyone who still sells it - haven't had it for years :)

Saffron cake :) I had some the other day with afternoon tea, I might make some today. It never stays in the cake tin for long.

Plum loaf, Lincolnshire sausage, Lincolnshire Poacher cheese, haslet, not keen on the last.

Yes Scottish morning rolls. Best ones come from the BP garage here!

Mrs Moggy - I think I must live near you, came on to say the same

Just south of where I live, oatcakes.

Emochild: I'm in Bolton on Thursday, I'll pop to the market and find out for you. That does sound like a Wigan Slappy though

Ha! I can tell the Black Country people from their lists

And now I want faggots

Bleakhouse is sticky toffee pudding regional? I didn't think it was

And the best salt in the world is from Essex where I live now

obviously lives near to shouldn'thavesaid and wafflyversatile

adds in Hot smoked salmon ....imagine smokies, but salmon and definitely bone free.

BitOut: It comes from Cartmel which is just a train ride from me. It's full name is Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding. I'm getting very hungry now

Well you learn something new every day! I think Cartmel should be thanked by the nation

5446 I was tempted to add Staffordshire oatcakes to my list as it's only one town over from me but thought that was cheating haha
