Boycie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Working in Leek yesterday and was forced to eat a double cheese and bacon "oatcake" It's a pancake I said, to a look of disdain from the cafe owner. Apparently, they don't make these elsewhere? Any other local food that others have never heard of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorneoRam Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 In Hull they put "seasoning" on chips rather than S&V, kind of salt and spice mix - bit weird Over here has lots of strange stuff - there is a Chinese saying - if it's back faces the sky you can eat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamOfKansas Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Southerners in America love Grits, Grits are ffing disgustingly weird. Also Midwesterns tend to put Ranch dressing on EVERYTHING! I don't but it's quite prevalent even all the way to the start of the Great Plains out here. Oh and Texas BBQ, BBQ was meant to be pork/ribs. Not beef/brisket Texas! #Champion of Kansas City BBQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Are we only looming at UK regional food? My missus is South African - and a Chef - so I eat all kinds of stuff I'd never heard of before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Scouse. It's just a kind of stew but the locals are incredibly proud of the stuff. Not sure that many eat the stuff, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrivateDerby Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I reckon every area has it's own stew or hot pot. Up here it's North Staffordshire Lobby and I know there's a Derbyshire one which is probably exactly the same as AndyinLiverpool's Scouse and every other one in this Country. In fact it annoys me, the word lobby makes me cringe. Oatcakes on the other hand 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fried cheese I lived on for over a decade in the Czech Republic, by contrast, is phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 How do you fry cheese? Wunt it just melt? Roll it in breadcrumbs and deep fry (or shallow fry, depends on resources available) it for a matter of seconds. Served with chips and a dollop of something called 'Tatarska' sauce, which is not really tatar sauce. Right healthy and no mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably nice though............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
