Evening All

Lots and lots of time on my hands

I have been delving through family memorable

One that hit my most happily memorable delights, were over indulging in the aforesaid regional delights

Join me . . . what was your most memorable regional delight

A happy, but albeit dank weekend to you all

[HK phooey]

Good evening Giant. The crab pasties at Steephill Cove here on the lovely Isle of Wight are a taste sensation and live up to their reputation. Sitting outside the little hut on a sunny day looking out at the sea with a pastie and a nice glass of wine is a little slice of heaven.

The delicious laver bread from Swansea market, served with bacon - in my meat eating days of course.

[ChesterfieldJohn]

For me the bacon and cheese oatcakes I ate in Kays cafe at Tunstall whilst helping my dad collect insurance money as a boy on a Saturday morning.

Yummy.

The NAAFI's pork and apple pasties..... sadly missed

[kaymar]

A real Cumberland sausage (i.e. in Cumberland) is far removed from the plastic and sawdust of the supermarket variety. You will possibly remember them, Giant, from your days in that part of the world.

On the topic of sausage, we had some of the wild boar variety in Tuscany this Summer. Superb! The wild boar there really are wild (well he probably wasn't very happy to be in a sausage, anyway)

And you should try a pair of traditionally smoked Manx kippers from Moore's in Peel

A real full Bury a Black pudding. Not the slices you get on the ships.

Ahhh I would have to agree with bacon and cheese oatcakes John, when I first met my husband I couldn't believe how someone could eat bacon and cheese together but as you say "Yummy" I've been converted

Oatcakes are the perfect accompaniment with a breakfast

I do miss steak and kidney puddings that you get in the chippies in the Potteries.

Always used to have 'pudding chips and peas' after a good nights drinking when I was a teenager many moons ago

For me it was a double whammy (sp?) - on a business trip I had a proper West Country cream tea, and (but not on the same day) a real Cornish Pasty.
Unforgettable.

Bedfordshire Clanger, with lovely rich gravy.

[oldbluefox]

Hedgehog ice cream from a little beach hut in St Agnes, Cornwall - Cornish ice cream in a cone smothered in clotted cream and dipped in chopped nuts. Forget how many calories - sheer delight on a summer's afternoon.

[Kendhni]

An Ulster Fry ... there is no better way to start a day .. but only in moderation .. arteries can harden by just thinking about it.

Also haggis, have always loved it, and black pudding and not forgetting my fathers proper Sunday dinners with roast beef and yorkshire puddings that he used to make every Sunday (while rest of us were forced to go out and bother the big dude in the sky).

Morning All

Bleeding Heck . . . . what a plonker

""culendry"" should have read ""culinary""

I must have over indulged last nights supper

A large chunk of Blue Vinny, accompanied with a handful of Dorset Knobs and a firkin of Mucky Brown Darzet Zider . . . and it was "firkin" delicious

A good Lancashire hot pot and Bury black pudding

[HK phooey]

On childhood holidays to Ireland I adored the soda farls and fadge (potato cakes) eaten with a fry up.

[emjay45]

Bara Brith and Welsh cakes for me. My mum used to make the best welsh cakes ever. Now my best friend brings some of her own homemade ones for me when she visits us on the island.

I do love the Manx kippers and my son and husband are partial to Manx Queenies another culinary delight of the island.
Graham we knew what you meant.

As you should. It's your other powers which frighten me.

[Silver_Shiney]

Now, if I'd been the mod, I'd have corrected it straight away and removed Graham's post pointing out his mistake, to save his embarrassment.

I'd have kept it somewhere safe for future extortion, mind....

[gfwgfw]

For the record

Moderator MoB did in fact PM the Giant waving his yellow card

So dear MoB there is a wonderful Darzet Apple Cake winging it's way to your North Dorset in tray - Enjoy

I hope it's fresher than those chocolates Onelife used to dish out!!
