Eccles cakes are nice.

If we're getting competitive, I give you Yorkshire puddings.

Let's see those Southern softies beat that.

I'll call your Yorkshite pudding and raise you a Faggot

You won't find many who would swap a good Yorkshire pudding for a faggot. Good shout though, I haven't had a faggot in ages.

I'll give you that.

Eccles cakes (shouldn't they be protected by the EU btw) are glorious if made and baked correctly.

They were originally made from the scraps of pastry left from making other dishes for example pies so that nothing went to waste with dried fruit.

Licorice huh. Rubbish, not even a cake. Put that into your licorice pipe and smoke it.

Can't beat Gur Cake.



So called as it was often eaten by Dublin gurriers.

(Gurrier originally came the French for fighter, but has been a common Dublin word for a young rascal for a long time.)

Anyway, you need to try Gur Cake.

It looks a bit too sugary for me but I'll try anything once. Where do I get it?

I love these cake plugs with stories attached BTW.

I bet Nando's don't sell Eccles cakes.

[cambridgealex]

Haven't had one in probably 10 years...thank you for reminding me - they are indeed incred.

I wonder what other foods I love but have forgotten about over the years...

When the kids were little I used to steal the Farleys rusks.

I haven't had one in donkey's years. I might even buy myself a packet.

[RED-DOG]

Just looked em up and was surprised to find Farley's rusks, and Heinz Farleys rusks. WTF is that all about?

Long story, short. . .
Farleys bought by Heinz mid 90's. Rebranded as Heinz Farleys Rusks. Sales nose dived in UK. Relaunched without the Heinz in UK, Heinz version sold in rest of the world.
