I remember 'mock crab' from when I was a kid in Liverpool in the 50's only we didn't have tomatoes in it but mustard powder. Never liked it cos it was too hot and spicy.


My late brother absolutely loved Tripe. White is was and boiled in milk Ugh. Tried to make me eat it but no way was I going to eat that stuff. Although I do love black pudding. Had some for breakfast this morning but living in Sussex it's nowhere near the same as Lancashires black puddings.   

Mind you I think the same of white cheshire cheese. It's nowhere near the same sharp taste as what I call proper cheshire cheese. Maybe as I have hit my second childhood it my taste buds that have changed, Who knows?

My fave when living up home in newcastle was a Stottie cake Breakfast :P Stottie cakes are a round fairly flat bread very moist and light inside which was then filled with bacon, egg, mushrooms, black pudding, and anything else you could stuff in it. YUM!

Up in Scotland my fave was buttries fresh from the bakers every morning. Can't get them south of the border unfortunately :(

other faves are hamshank soup with huge fluffy dumplings

Pan haggerty a kind of potato and cornbeef hotpot but done on top of the stove...ermmmm.. got to be loads more :)

Hello All


Being a dinkee di aussie and have married into an Italian family I now love pasta and I think I cook it pretty darn good as well. Learn't off the husband.

You can't beat good homemade pasta with sauce.

Though I am now a good deal heavier than what I was when I met him, thanks to my love of pasta.

South west dishes include the famous cornish pasties, clotted cream and scones, devon roast (meat cooked in water with onions and spuds around it - yummy), hogs pudding (as it comes or fried) a sort of white black pudding, saffron cake spread with butter, and strangest of all the cornish star gazey pie which is made of herrings under a shortcrust lid with the fish heads and tails sticking out of the crust!

sounds like the Malaysian national dish: Fish head curry.

You daren't look at what you're eating, as it stares back at you. Nothing so offputting as being watched while you're eating. Sounds disgusting, looks worse, tastes lovely though.
