Parched peas are a Preston thing I think, nice with salt and vinegarI haven't read through everyone's comments yet so not sure if this has been mentioned but... Parched peas?? My husband is northern and I'd never heard of eaten them before meeting him.
My husband is northern and calls it a barm cake

I think it is just juice from mushy peas. Wiganers eat it with their chips.
Fish & chips with mushy peas and curry sauce on the side.. 
. It’s also served in north west wales! And oh I remember the pop man very well, it was a company called Alpine. I used to get so excited when the truck pulled up, they did unusual flavours like cream soda which was bright green, raspberry, and dandelion and burdock.

It is essentially just a stew, and quite similar to Irish Stew, but each household has their own way of making it!
What about spotted dick pudding? 
Do you have London cheesecakes outside of London? No cheese! Flaky pastry, jam, icing and coconut. I like the sound of the Manchester tarts.

I've never known what these were called, they are gorgeous but I rarely see them!
As a Londoner I'm stereotyped as eating eels. I do not eat eels. I find the whole idea of them revolting. Along with whelks and things of that nature.
amazing!!I have had them in SpainLocal Baker is from Boro and was asked to make one and they had become popular now.
Mustard - I like the sound of the Manchester tarts.
Best ones I have had were from Bury Market - delicious. The Black Pudding and Black Peas from the same market are also famous (although the peas are brown.)

Pizza crunchI’m sure chippy sauce is an Edinburgh thing. Don’t think Glaswegians have it as much? It’s basically brown sauce with vinegar in it.
Chippies in Scotland are a different kettle of fish to chippies in England too. Can’t beat a pizza crunch covered in chippy sauce
School lunchtime was always a roll and fritter from the chippyI'd murder one right now
I have never managed to find square sausage or nice potato scones in London. They don’t know what they are missing.
That’s a Wigan kebab!What about a Wigan Barm -- meat pie in a bread roll.
We always called them Wigan Barm instead of explaining what they were.
Scotch eggs became very fashionable in London foodie pubs about 10 years ago. Handmade, not from a packet, obvs! Pub round the corner from me started serving them after they had a revamp.
Are they like a potato farl?
Yes potato cakes and farls are basically the same thing.
