What local dish absolutely HAS to make Stanley Tucci’s new series?

[CrabsolutelyNorfolk]

Stanley Tucci is doing a series around Great Britain. What local dishes do you think he should try?

I’m from Norfolk, so I’d love to see some Cromer crab get a mention, although I’m realistic enough to accept he’ll probably go to Cornwall instead!

What would you put forward from your area?

Melton Mowbray pork pie!

I'd love to see him try a sussex pond pudding but it's very niche 😂

He better hit the gym!

Needs an image to be fully appreciated

Whatever it is,. it will be totally bastardized while he tells a ' hilarious ' story about something Emily blunt did or said on DWP set.

Love a Sussex pond pudding!

Sussex pond pudding is a classic, as long as it's the traditional recipe with the whole lemon.

I pre-cut the lemon lengthwise into four or six pieces, then stick it back together with some of the butter/brown sugar mix, before putting it vertically into the suet pastry-lined pudding basin, lid on top.
It makes it easier to serve - cutting up a whole lemon at the table can be tricky.
A wonderful winter dessert but not for the faint hearted.
( I have seen the whole lemon — basically the whole point of the dish — actually omitted in favour of a small amount of lemon juice. Tragic. )

Scotch egg

I live in Cambridge so it has to be Cambridge Burnt Cream, supposedly the origin of Crême Brûlée…

Surely for a Cornish dish it's got to be a paaasty. (With a very long ‘a’.)
Or hog’s pudding.

Turkey twizzlers

I could murder a paaaaaasty 😆

I met him in York so I’m looking forward to watching this and seeing where he went

Hopefully eel in some form or another 😋😋😋. Or we want to be really niche, elvers (though owing to species decline that might be illegal or at least frowned upon now)

Haggis, neeps and tatties with whisky sauce. Food of the gods.

Oh god he'll have been to the yorkshire pudding wrap place in York won't he? Or maybe a fat rascal from Betty's if we're lucky.

Followed by cranachan.

i can see a theme of artery-endangering desserts emerging in my posts.

Gypsy Tart - yum 😋

Forgot about one of my favourites, the Teesside Parmo 🤤

Never had parmo (a parmo?) and always wondered what it was. Sounds heavenly! 😋 😋 😋

Knew parmo would get a mention. Hot shot parmo for the win!
How about ham and pease pudding?

Scouse!!!

I grew up abroad but have lived in London and SE England for 25yrs. I've never heard of some of some of these things! I think James Martin showed the Sussex pond pudding on his show once so I must give it a try. I'd love to see any other recipe inspirations posted.

Cawl.

Made properly the night before.
