A Selkirk Bannock is kind of fruited teabread, chewbacca
This is from The Scotsman
The Selkirk bannock is one of Scotland's more famous baked goods, Fraser Wright discovers its surprisingly rich history and provides a recipe to make your own. The Selkirk bannock is different to a traditional bannock for it is a rich and buttery leavened tea bread, a far cry from the bere bannocks you find in Orkney

jalima as a great we used to have saffron cake with a dollop of cream!

Also pasties made that morning to take to Polzeath and still warm at lunch time.

We used to go blackberrying in the school holidays on the way home from Trebarwith and then have apple and blackberry pasty with a dollop of cream on the beach the next day.

Mum always made cream - something not possible now of course.

I’ve only ever had Sussex pond pudding once. It is a suet pudding and in the centre it is stuffed with a lemon and butter [heart attack job] custard to go with it.

I made a Sussex pond pudding once - it was so delicious but so calorific that I never dared make another one

MIL used to make clotted cream in the days when milk was delivered and poured into your own jugs by the milkman.
In fact, she ate clotted cream every day and lived to 87.

I love Sussex pond pudding; it was one of the most delicious puddings I have ever eaten, but like jalima, have only ever made it once. Perhaps it is time to revisit it! I’ve never seen it on a restaurant menu; I suppose it doesn’t lend itself to large scale catering.

A few years ago at the Church Fete, I bought a bundle of WI recipe books mainly from WIs in Cumbria and Yorkshire. Many of the recipes have become firm favourite and some are mentioned on this threat including Singing Hinnies and Eccles Cakes. I love Glamorgan sausage too - delicious but born out of poverty - I still remember my Welsh granny piling them up on the plate for us.
I think our diet is a bit Gloucestershire, a bit South Wales and a good quantity of Yorkshire and Cumbria.

I remember gypsy tart at school dinners in Rochester! Now living in Lincoln, but remember is was sooo yummy!

We are near the Black Country. One of their specialities is faggots and gray pays (grey peas). We haven't had it often, but it's very tasty.

Stovies, mealy jimmies, butteries, macaroni pies and Aberdeen date scone...these are all the things my family miss in the S of E.

I was introduced to pikelets in Australia. They were what I called scotch pancakes. Very nice whatever they were called!

I had two for breakfast this morning oldandbold - with butter and honey (very naughty but it is Saturday)

KatyK...
Although I spent my teenage years living abroad I also lived many years in the Black Country. My daughter was born and bred BC and although she now lives down south she still orders Gray Paes off the internet and boils a batch up to eat with bacon bits.
Now, I am living in Oatcake land.. but unlike the locals I think they are yuk! Like eating something akin to solidified wallpaper paste!

Everyone knows the best oysters come from Whitstable

Gypsy tart was indeed a regular (and hated) part of my school dinners in Kent

ninathenana. Haha you may well be right, only tried one once, yeukk!! Slippery, cold and fishy, apparently you are supposed to swallow it, what's that all about, never ever again

As the first one to mention pikelets, maybe I can confirm that I mean home made, thin versions of the commercial crumpet. When I first came to Spain in the 80s we couldn't buy crumpets and so I made pikelets. They are very, very cheap to make, being just flour, yeast and water; I would spend a day making them and stockpile them in the freezer.

Whitewave when I lived in Wendron as a child, before the days of school dinners, children who didn't live closer than a 10 minute walk away brought pasties and the teacher put them in the oven of the large stove that heated the classroom. My mother, being from Lancashire didn't make us pasties, but plate pies using the same filling. We carried them to school wrapped in newspaper. We didn't have electricity or running water at home in those days. There was great excitement at school when the bucket lavs out in the playground were converted to WCs and we got wash hand basins in the cloakroom!

grannyboots1 beat me to it with the Bedfordshire Clanger, but also Dunstable Doughnuts. I believe the bakers that used to produce them finally closed down, but oh, my, days! Dunstable doughnuts were utterly divine. Small round doughnuts with cinnamon sugar on the outside. I used to buy a baker's dozen every week.

Hock and Dough.
A Northamptonshire dish I was fed on a cold winters day, as a child, by my paternal grandmother
We later moved south so has anyone the recipe as I recall my favourite part being the dough crust that had absorbed the liquids from the mixture of pork, potatoes and onions that were the basis of this dish.

Scouse and blind scouse.

I love tablet and whenever a friend of mine visits Scotland she brings be back some. To me it is nothing like fudge, its second cousin.

Maw I also love Selkirk Bannock, have not had it for many years.

Pikelets are a kind of crumpet then CherryHatrick rather than a 'drop scone' or Scottish pancake.

I'm sure that my SisIL always called crumpets 'pikelets' (the ones that are a bit thicker with holes in); she is from the North Midlands.

I've been racking my poor old brain cells and have come up with Nottingham Pudding. I've only made this once, a very long time ago. If I remember rightly it contains Bramley apples. I must give it another whirl someday.

Delicious Parkin ,I must find that recipe again !
