I’ve seen a couple of different brands in London supermarkets. They are delicious! Aren’t they originally Irish/Scottish?Yes potato cakes and farls are basically the same thing.

Where in the North are you? Dicksons pork butchers sell savaloy dips . . . bloody lovely!!Other things I've noticed as a Londoner living up North.
- Virtually no one knows what a Savaloy is.
- They have scallops up here. I thought it was a sea creature - its slices of potato, battered.
- Many Northern Chinese take aways serve a chow mein completely different to what I'm accustomed to, its all WET!
- Calzones are popular.
- Mash is served on a roast dinner.
- Northerners think pie, mash and liquor looks revolting.
- Chips are always ordered alongside an Indian.
- Bin lids.
- Pea wet.
- Chicken shops arent for hanging out in.
- breakfast, dinner, tea as opposed to breakfast, lunch, dinner.
- Red sauce for Ketchup.
I'm from the north east and that's my favourite thing from the chinese, all in one container. You can get just about every combination of sauce, rice, chips or noodles round here!!Do other areas have rice with their curry & chips too? Or is that more a Liverpool thing!?
I live in Warrington.Where in the North are you? Dicksons pork butchers sell savaloy dips . . . bloody lovely!!
Ham and pease pudding stottie is to die for!! Pease pudding is split peas. I boil them in ham stock with some of the boiled ham and onion till it goes mushy then loads of butter and black pepper. My mouth is watering nowI don’t actually know what it is, it’s like a spread made from split peas I think, usually have it with ham sandwiches haha
Ah, Dicksons are only in the North east, I think. Well worth a trip across the Pennines!!I live in Warrington.
My mum, from S. Yorkshire, used to make that a lot, in a soup version after cooking a ham.Ham and pease pudding stottie is to die for!! Pease pudding is split peas.

Yes!!!!!What about chicken parmo?
I once had a parmo in magaluf... not really something to be proud of but I guess Majorca is a fair distance from BoroI was just about to ask about a parmo! Definitely originated in Boro but I wonder how far it’s travelled.
Yes, that's how I make soup too!!My mum, from S. Yorkshire, used to make that a lot, in a soup version after cooking a ham.
What is a parmo?Yes!!!!!
Best thing ever to come out of Teesside (or Middlesbrough to be specific) ... nothing better than indulging in about 5,000 calories in one sitting... the question is tho, salad or creamed cabbage?!?

When I went to school everyone used to spend their lunch money on Regal King Size.I’m from up north and everyone at my secondary school had chips cheese and gravy for lunch![]()
Aye, I used to spend mine on 10 L&B Silver then sell a few for 50p each at break time to make enough back to buy the chipsWhen I went to school everyone used to spend their lunch money on Regal King Size.
A parmo is a Teesside ‘delicacy’ also known as a heart attack on a plate.What is a parmo?![]()
As a fellow Teessider I can say they are amazing!!A parmo is a Teesside ‘delicacy’ also known as a heart attack on a plate.
Imagine the following... breaded chicken breast (or pork fillet) flattened and deep fried. The crusty fillet is then smothered in white sauce (bechamel for the cultured amongst us) and a very liberal application of the orangest cheese possible. The calorie laden object is then grilled to melt the cheese... seriously it sounds horrendous but dear god, it tastes amazing!
Some of my family live in chesterfield, and they’ve always had chips and gravy, Infact, they find it very strange that we don’t do it in Essex.!! I actually really like it, but only with a pie or pasty and chips, I couldn’t have gravy on fish!!We love chips and gravy in wales too but I’ve not seen it in any English chippies other than when we’ve been in Lancashire with family. We’re also partial to a good scotch egg here too!

If you google it, you can but it fresh onlineCan't beat a ham and pease pudding stottie! I was fuming when Greggs up north stopped selling them.
I'm now down south and can't get any decent pease pudding anywhere, the pease pudding in a tin in Sainsburys is VILE. I could probably try to make my own but.. effort! I always bring back like 4 pots of the stuff when I visit.
