I particularly like the version with rice in the mix, as it gives you more texture than some of the others.

Restaurant up in the mountains. I ordered it as a starter. 3 pieces of it arrived - struggled with a main course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are strongly spiced, some mildly, some have onions in them, some have rice, some are thin, some are fat, etc. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Annoyingly, I can't find the link. Originally called "Cumberland miners' pasties", they were half-savoury, half-sweet, and according to some food historians, predate the Cornish version - and also taste better. Made to an ancient recipe used by the wives of miners in Borrowdale, one end is filled with mince, vegetables and potatoes and the other with stewed apples or plums for the pudding.

Exiled Townie Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 The hot cross bun originated in England, and should be called the St Albans bun. 'It is said that the St Alban Bun, the precursor to the famous Hot Cross Bun, originates in St Albans where Brother Thomas Rocliffe, a 14th Century Monk at St Albans Abbey, developed an original recipe. From 1361, Brother Thomas would distribute these buns to feed the poor on Good Friday. The abbey bakers, who still bake the buns today, stay faithful to the original 14th century recipe with only a slight addition of some extra fruit. The buns are distinctive in their appearance due to their lack of a piped cross. Instead, the baker cuts the cross into the top of the bun with a knife.'

Bob8 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Food is not really national that much, despite the best efforts of the C19th. Scouse in Hamburg looks different to Liverpool but tastes the same. In Denmark it looks the same as Liverpool, but has pretty much no flavour (as the Danes prefer much of their food). Yorkshire puddings are known as Dutch to the Americans, but are clearly a roasts rather than fried pan cake. Even faggots are pretty similar to frikadeller. Pork scratchings are found in Denmark as Flaeskesvaer (again with the flavour removed).
