I'd say they were more typically northern dishes rather than English ones Lucy.

In my neck of the woods down here, we wouldn't normally have those combinations.

Tripe Doesn't feature down here except to feed racing dogs.
Brawn (cold, in jelly, sliced) with a salad.
Spotted Dick with cream or custard is ok.
Frog spawn is usually found (or used to be) in school dinners.
Faggots has just gotta be with pease pudding, not mash or chips!



Me Granddad used to love pig's trotters.

He used to bring them home from the workman's club, some fella walking round selling pig's trotters, pickled eggs and herring, for me Grandma to boil in a pan and then he'd put salt and pepper on them and have fat dripping down his face.

Absolutely disgusting, but then he was born in 1917 so experienced some hard times.

grosss, i cannot stand pease pudding



Pease pudding is a North East thing and it is absolutely lush in a ham sandwich with salt and pepper on. Me mouth's watering.

Ever had a saveloy dip?

Pardon me for living! Blame my parents.
I have lately wondered about two limey dishes. Bangers and mash and Scouse. I can not find anything on line about them much. I go in March To Limeyland for 4 weeks and want to know,about local type foods while over there. Perhaps some of our limey cousins can contribute and inform me and others about the foods? I know about fish and chips and how they vary in taste from the north to the south.



Firstly, we ain't your cousins; we're your elders and betters.

Secondly, what you term Scouse is actually called 'Lob Scouse'. It's a stew native to Liverpool and is Scandinavian in origin.

Thirdly, every region has its own food.

Fourthly, stay where you are - you sound like a monumental idiot.



Personally I do think he might enjoy a stroll down Canal Street, he might get a very friendly welcome

I strongly suggest that you eat a pound of Marmite a day, while you're there.

Thing with the English is that we do it our own unusual way. Marmite could only possibly be an English thing.

And, yes, marmite on toast is lush.

i bought them for my dogs and cooked them for ages in boiling water (windows wide open and extractor running at full power, the smell is just awful) and it's something that keeps them busy for hours as there is so much grizzle and bone, basically it's bone covered with some weird rubbery substance, I am thinking your grandpa must have had teeth my Dobies would envy

Me Granddad was a miner who worked in red hot conditions deep into the sea. Apparently the earth is red hot when you get down there, not that I've experienced it but he did.

So a pig's trotter was hardly a major obstacle to a fella who worked 12 hour shifts in conditions unheard of today.

Thanks, I've been living in the UK for years now and I hear about things I never thought were edible!

Oh he loved it. He also loved rum.

Why? Different age.

The North East is entirely different to the South and the gap in taste, culture and values is quite possibly not as wide as it was then, but remains significant.

Mix half a teaspoonful with the juice from a tin of peeled plum tomatoes, plus cornflour, pepper and mixed herbs - the best gravy for meat, ever. Try it, NG - you *will not* look back.

I guess pease pudding is much the same.
I agree, most are just coloured mashed cardboard.
In fact, most cardboard tastes better than the offerings of pease pudding I've had.
If it's made right, it should be delicious!
I think the amount of ham/hock stock and seasonings (or lack of) make all the difference.

Like bread pudding. I've tried loads in cafes, restaurants and shops.
I always end up going back to my mums WWII recipe that I make and it's yummy!
PS: my recipe for this is in the recipe section and has lots of variations for personal taste.


My mum used to make pease fresh(well from soaking it overnight), every time with ham/stock/hocks...wouldnt have it any other way, but it was the consistency, im the same with mushy peas, semolina, altho I love hummus.
I make a very delicious bread pudding:) the kids couldnt believe how good it tastes:) and yes, a gran recipe, as with my dark fruit cake, lol
I will check out the recipe:)

You know, the first time I saw "faggots" offered, I bought them out of curiosity, then realized meat stuff, don't like it, smelled it and the way they looked, ewwww....

Offered it to the dogs and they really love them as in "mind your fingers", they do tend to enjoy things like tripe, kidneys and other unspeakable things that basically have me almost cowering in fear in a corner...

I literally cannot handle the smell cooking, liver, tripe, hearts, kidleys, shudder.
But then Im like that with fish too, as a kid, my dad and I used to fish a lot, the local pike were sposed to be delicious(nasty)
We went down to cornwall to spend 2 weeks with my uncle that had a boat out of padstow, crabbing, lobsters and mackerel. We had a full week of gutting and smoking the mackerel, scooping out the lobster and crab for a local restaurant and for sale in the harbour. we had mackerel, smoked, fried, stewed, baked.
Lost my taste for fish and shellfish. Same with winkles, n jellied eels. The only fish I enjoy is trout, catching and eating:)

yes, but not in 20 years.
Love me some marmite, but it has to be just right...too much and it is horrible, but my mouth is watering thinking about it.
I really need to get home for a visit.

That's disgusting.

Everyone knows they're far superior deep fried or grilled. You need to crisp them up to make them edible.

How do people crave for that!

The ingenuity of people in producing cheap and tasty meals was amazing. They knew little about nutrition back then are even obesity. Actually despite the bad diets few people got liver or heart disease compared to the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries.

The stottie has to be sliced open, lots of butter, then hot chips and salt on top before the lid is put on.

It's a heart attack waiting to happen but its worth the occasional risk

So, how does a lass from the South (I assume from the South as you say Mum and not Mam), or at least the Midlands, know about savelop dips?

No one I know outside of the North East has heard of 'em.
