UK regional culinary delights

I love raspberry vinegar which my granny used to make and which we still make today. Basically raspberries soaked in vinegar, strained through muslin and the juice boiled with sugar, bottled and left to mature for a couple of months. Delicious on Yorkshire pudding or pancakes........................ Can also be made with blackberries.

I don't know whether it's a Leicestershire delicacy as no-one else seems to have heard of it.

well, I've certainly heard of it....

My wife and I recently enjoyed Sunday lunch at a local restaurant in the company of Soiled Nightie and his lovely wife. I had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and a couple of pints of Black Sheep bitter. It was simple...and it was excellent.

I had a pint of my favourite Doombar last week - it tasted a bit like cider I hope it was just a dodgy barrel.

I think I've mentioned elsewhere the very excellent Namaskar Lounge Indian restaurant in Bristol. Unfortunately it has closed under a large cloud.

I do rather like Lorne (square) sausage, but I don't see it very often south of the border. A favourite breakfast when I was younger was a couple of slices of Lorne sausage, fried eggs and potato scone.

S.S. I had a couple of pints of Doombar recently whilst visiting our daughter in Worcestershire. Taste was OK but it was completely flat. Does it ever have a decent head on it like proper bitter should?

Hi Kaymar - I don't get to drink it that often so can't really remember if a proper pint of it has a head or not. The stuff I had last week had such a head on it, it took several minutes to pull - but, as I said, I think it was a dodgy barrel.

the stuff I drank in Cornwall ,5 mins away from the brewery was your typical flatish southern beer with a bit of froth

but very nice none the less

Did you find, as I did, that beer in Germany tastes very different to its UK counterpart?

Now that brings back memories!

Our local Farmfoods sells Lorne sausage. Used to do Scottish Plain bread as well.

I think it would be easier for me to nip up the M5/M6/M74 to the Land of the Haggis to stock up than it would be to go round to Sarfend. I have fond memories from '75 traipsing round the North Circular every Friday night from near Heathrow to Canvey Island to see a girlfriend, listening to Bachman Turner Overdrive playing "You ain't seen nothing yet".

Not familiar with "plain bread".....
