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.

does anyone have a recipe for these lovely oat cakes? they seem to get harder and harder to find

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.

the beer is still brewed but outside london, somewhere in surrey, I believe. it's only the wandsworth brewery that's now gone.

I dont reckon they exist, wodda you reckon Mslaverne?

I don't think they ever existed round East Lancs/West Yorks anyway, probably nowhere else either, mores the pity

I used to make those flat oat cakes and hang them on the drying rack above the fireplace to dry out. I bet my mum still has the recipe, I'll ask her

I'd almost forgotten about this:

When I was a poor student, Miller and Paine was the place to go if you needed to feel rich for an afternoon. You and a friend would go into the Tea Room and order one cinnamon roll and two coffees and feel very posh.

The other thing about this now defunct department store was that their clothes are nearly indestructible. I bought a blue raw silk suit from there in 1981 and and its still in my wardrobe, just as wearable as the day it was bought. Everything, and mean everything was lined with silk satin, the button holes sewn by hand. Even now, when I find their label on an item of clothing at a second hand store, I'll buy it. It doesn't matter if it is my size, because I know it can either be altered (they left enough extra seams to do so) or can be sold for more than I paid for it.

Pea pies again

I dont reckon they exist, wodda you reckon Mslaverne?

Yous tryin to push my buttons there northernhoard? Makin' out I is makin' them pea pies up. I is a west Lancs peep, so maybe they were a west Lancs delicacy

I would love the oatcake recipe if anyone has it or can obtain it.

Bought some local butter at the weekend, and some local eggs.

Both were utterly fucking fantastic. The eggs tasted like, well, eggs. But really tasty eggs. The butter is awesome. It has a crumbly consistancy like the hard bits in clotted cream. And it is delicious.
