In West Cumbria growing up, the pattie and chips at Cueto's (same family as union player Mark Cueto) were legendary Consists of - 2 thick slices of potato, with minced beef in the middle of them, then battered, then deep fried Link to post Share on other sites

hindle xiii 1,051 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 After watching many food shows I think there was something quite unique about the British approach to breakfast being a separate set of dishes. Yes the American Kellogg's popularised cereal and milk but from what I have seen around the world other countries just have food and is interchangeable between the day.

Exiled Townie 341 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 When I was a lad Sheeps Head Broth was popular in West Cumberland - Get the butcher to split the sheep's head into halves, wash these clean, and put them into a boiling-pot of water and leave to boil, skim it well, really well, add carrots, turnips, onions, leeks etc, season with pepper and salt. Some added rice as well. You could eat this hot as a broth or next day eat the cold meat off the head. I was told the English used to skin the head but the Scots only used to burn the hair off before cooking. The eyes, of course were left in. Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive. It is now a term of abuse that both towns of West Cumbria use for each other especially at Workington/Whitehaven rugby league derby matches.
