:D Fairynuff. I'm easilly confused these days.

Yorkshire pudding
Bakewell pudding
Derby sage cheese.
 
ooh, loads of national delicacies:

Tattie scones
Square sausage
Haggis
Stovies
Deep fried Mars Bars
Tablet
Rowies
Butteries

Pretty much anything artery-hardening really :)
For proper local food we have a kind of seriously stinky cheddar described by the makers as 'cheese not for the faint-hearted':

That cheese looks like it's been iced?

Berkshire? There's a beer I think but I can't remember what it's called :o

There's Butts in Great Shefford, if that's the one you're thinking of?

My family are Salfordian; so hotpot, taterash (as northernhoard has already mentioned, but ours has always been made with left over lamb roast), 'meat' pies, which me gran used to make, and Hollands do a parody of, barmcakes.

Are potato cakes Lancastrian or Irish (my gran is Irish, so I'm not sure which part they're from)?

Boddies from the wood.

Lancashire Food

Black peas, served up hot with a splasha vinegar
Tayta Hash, a stew type dish made with corned beef/mince, spuds and carrotts
Butter Pies

:D

Mushy Pea pies - although Butter pies come a close second, I dream about Pea pies with HP sauce!

Proper steamed Jam Rolypoly

Flat Oat Cakes - they're like an oatmeal pancake, brownish, smooth on one side and rough on the other. Delicious spread with honey or butter and rolled up.

Two out of three are no longer found - unless you know better - and unfortunately my homemade Rolypoly has never lived up to my school dinner memories. I loved school dinners I did, even prunes & tapioca :eek: but nowt comes close to jam rolypoly school dinner stylee.

Plenty of good Northern Fayre for you adventure:o :D

We used to get pea fritters from the chippy when I lived in Southampton. I've never seen these anywhere else. They were a ball of mushy peas battered and fried.

Um, jellied eels, pie and mash (never had any of these), Young's beer (not any more I believe). I have vivid memories of the smell every time we drove past the brewery, and my Brownie pack got taken on a trip there to see the Shire horses once.
 
Dreams are made of mushy pea pies

Unfortunately mushy pea pies & flat oatcakes are the two food items no longer available because they aren't made anymore - unless......

I had a pea fritter from a chippy in the New Forest in the summer. Out of curiosity more than anything, I'd never heard of them before. They were suprisingly nice, especially when dipped in curry sauce :)
