We even have Booths in Longridge now! Civilisation has sort of arrived, but I'm getting bored of the beer section in there.

I remember being violently sick climbing up Longridge Fell when I was about 12. Happy days.

That's pretty much a defining memory of the place and not only for you.
No, I lie, it's not that bad but it's… dull and conformist.

we eat a dutch krentenbrood, which is bread packed heavy full or currants. so good!
I could never eat it these days due to my gastric band, but Danish rugbrød did a lot for me.
that looks very similar to the pumpernickel rye bread i tried the Marmite on.

I do prefer welsh cakes over bagels though. Nom.

A lot of these dishes aren't very popular outside their own towns or regions, and in many cases aren't eaten as much as they once were.
There's also parched peas and butter pie too (i.e. pie without meat, just potatoes - so a potato pie) too.

I miss butter pie. I used to have that a lot, but can't get it since leaving lancashire. Yum.

Solvejg, that recipe looks awesome! i think i may use the same idea for my cheese biscuit pinwheels a i make it more often than bread. i think i will cut back on the salt in my recipe. about tomatoes - you're preaching to the choir, but for the sake of social ease i just call them veggies. same with squash and cucurbits (and the opposite with rhubarb, which is an evilllll veggieee)... it is too much of a pain to explain it every time.
It is called a cheesymite scroll.

np yvw hun, Colcannon is an Irish dish it will complement the Irish guiness in the gravy.
Champ and colcannon are two different dishes: colcannon is mashed potato with cabbage, and champ is mashed potato mixed with spring onion.
I known that mate, your teaching to me to suck eggs here. I live in a city with Irish connections, I have ancestry on both sides of my family from both the north and south, of both faiths in the troubles. One ancestor was killed in the 1916 Dundalk uprisings!
I have an uncle born in Liverpool and now lives near to Galway, He been living in Irleand over of 30 years now and has five children. I also have an Irish ancestor who was a high ranking member of the Royal Black Preceptory. Plus I have an Irish surname.
Henbane, am half Welsh thanks for taking about picau ar y maen (Welsh cakes) you forgot about Bara brith.
My friend has family in Liverpool and Ireland. She makes a really nice soda bread which she learnt from her Irish relatives. If you like very salty food, I think soda bread would go really well with marmite.
Bara brith is delicious and much better than Lava bread and other Welsh breads
. I would keep marmite away from anything with that much fruit in though, unless you're very adventurous.
