your local delicacy?

[TdC]

Two I guess, first one being extremely predictable (for those folks knowing I come from Cornwall I spose).

Pasty

I don't think there is a "local" delicacy in London as such. i guess it's whatever the local takeaway has on offer...

Perhaps its the Saveloy or Chinese or Curry...

Stew as a kid, now its kebab meat and chips and mayonaise, or yorkshire puddings and black puddings

Well excluding the pie and mash, there is always the rat burger /ratdog stands on every street corner after a night out.

Oh yes...they smell sooooo good after a night of boozing though.
I think I may have eaten a few after a heavy night out...

So I'd have to say Lebanese food. Rice wrapped in vine leaves is amazing.

This is easily the nicest sounding thing in this thread, by the way, and I'm not just saying this because everything else would fuck up my intestines. The average British taste in food is something I've never shared, luckily.

I'd think that was quite unlucky given that you live in Britain (I assume).

You forgot Jellied Eels.

Thankfully that sort of thing isn't sold where I live!

Dys! Be a man, they are fucking gorgeous, also I have never had any food poisoning from those dodgy hot dog stands, but I have from proper restuarants and fast food places.

And Wij, I have tried and quite like jellied eels. But then I like haggis, and marmite.

Gordon Ramsay did some lovely looking pan fried tripe the other night on 'The F Word'. Might have to give that a go.

 

[Bullitt]

The thing that puts me off tripe is my dog chews sticks of it and it reeks....although my dog also eats beef and lamb in a way, and baby pheasants and snotty tissues. And i've never had a problem with them

Pan fried snotty tissue is devine but only with a nice garnish of buzznuts!

Speaking of pies I nearly forgot this one too.

Starry-Gazey Pie

That's right, a fish pie with the heads and tails poking out through the pastry.

They are lush. Can't beat a Scotch pie with loads of Branston pickle on top.

 

[mank!]

i'm trying to remeber the name of some weird scottish dish that paul sturrock got our players eating when he came to swindon...stoke pie or something? i'm guessing it's a dundee thing

 

[phazey]

Delicious!

Tried to find the locusts, but these'll do.

Ok, so I live in London and was brought up in the Uk, but being Polish I have always been around these foods. The listed ones are all typically polish and very traditional. My favourites are the sausages, the bigos and the potato pancakes - so so yummy. Most veg in poland is pickled as its easier to keep and store, and they eat a lot of bulgar wheat and rye....not something i have a taste for. They also seem to like eating Carp for some strange reason too....its a horrble muddy tasting browny coloured fish....uke:



Barszcz czerwony: refreshing beetroot soup with vegetables and sour cream or served clear with dumplings.
Śledzie w śmietanie: herring in sour cream, usually with onion.
Kiełbasa: Polish sausages - white sausages are especially very tasty. They go well with pickled cucumbers (gherkins) in combination with beer or vodka and fresh air.
Bigos: appetizing, seasoned "hunter" stew made from sauerkraut with chunks of various meats and sausages, extremely traditional.
Gołąbki: cabbage parcels originally from Lithuania, they are stuffed with meat or meat and rice.
Pierogi: very traditional small white dumplings, larger than ravioli, filled with sauerkraut with mushrooms, cheese and potatoes or with fruit. They can be also with meat (z mięsem).
Placki ziemniaczane: potato pancakes.
Sernik: delicious fat cheese cake.
Szarlotka: cake with apples, sometimes served with whipped cream.

Yes you get carp in South Africa too but not on a dinner menu. Its not really a fish to eat unless of course you are starving!

 

[Ormorof]

patty stotties here in hull i guess, its like a potato cake thing (looks like a fish cake but made with potato) in a bun

must admit to never having heard of either a patty or a stottie before coming to hull

for the danish side of things i guess you could argue these pastries (called Wienerbrød in denmark, danish pastries in england and copenhagen bread elsewhere so god knows where they came from hehe):

Does this not turn your piss a funny colour, iirc?

Yum. Love Polish food. There's a really good Polish restaurant in Shepherd's Bush, right opposite the Pie & Mash shop (London's contribution to world cuisine).
