Foods unique to areas

I had a veggie haggis once. It was minging.

but any less minging than 'real' haggis (ie. made out of sheep's bladder, mutton etc...)?

I'm sorry, I preferred real haggis!

Hi all,

Patties, battered fishcake without the fish. Just potato and parsley. Only in Hull?

They have something similar as "scallops" in West Yorks, only without the parsley.

colts foot rock is pretty unique to yorkshire, it an aniseed rock that looks like a limp of clay

We had colts foot rock in Rochdale when I was a kid along with Kaylie, those really hard licquorice sticks (as opposed to Spanishes) and Black peas (carling peas) and Parkin on Bommie night. When I came to newcastle in 1976 I remember queuing up for a Ham salad at our college refectory thinking why the fuck are they serving bits of caramel with the ham? It was of course pease pudding. Are saveloy dips common outside Tyne and wear? I found that quite a strange dish for the NE.

The obvious - Yorkshire pudding. (although it's universally eaten)

Non brewed condiment - used to be a Sheffield thing IIRC.
