Local food favourites
« on: Wednesday 20 October 04 07:51 BST (UK) »
What got me thinking about that was from when i went to a chippy in whitby and asked for a chip butty open. I ended up with chips wrapped up, and a breadcake in a plastic bag tied in a knot. Maybe it was just the poor lady who was confused  ???
Besides a chip butty, chips IN the breadcake, Yorkshire pudding has to be the local favourite along with meat and potatoe pie with Hendersons relish.

And has anyone ever heard of mock crab? An American relative of my Nan's neighbour gave it to her. Tomatoes, eggs and cheese all boiled and mushed together in a pan and then slapped on toast.

lol morning fitty

I totally agree with the mix in the gravy  8)

My first sunday dinner was tragic. I put too much mix in the gravy. Was kinda strange, just a brown powdery liquid, the flour content killed the oxo...... but i'd used self raising instead of plain so also created yorkshire biscuits WEY HEY

I lived in Lancs when I was young and a meal I enjoyed was black tripe and elder,served with sliced tomatoes,sprinkled liberally with vinegar and pepper and eaten with bread and butter. I even enjoyed it when I discovered what it was!! (my dad preferred honeycomb tripe). The tripe was bought from the local Tripe Shop! No this wasn't in the dark ages but the sixties! My grandma liked cow heel or pigs trotters (the latter are now appearing on menus in posh restaurants). Having moved away the food I like to buy when I go "home" is Bacon Ribs, boiled and served with cabbage and lovely creamy mash,yummy! :)

Whether it is local or thousands of miles away it is always better if someone else has cooked it!

Plum Bread - which I had never heard of until I came to Lincolnshire.   Made with cold tea, dried fruit (no plums) and spices, all boiled together before being baked in the oven.   Delicious with lashings of butter and a lump of cheese.
