Nairn's rough oatcakes - crap/not crap

[secretsquirrel]

Whilst I voted not crap, because I like the cheesy ones, they are, I'm afraid, sad imitations of the real Staffordshire deal: http://www.staffordshireoatcakes.com/

I'm currently perfecting my own Staffs oatcake recipe. My dad (gawd rest his soul) would never tell us the exact recipe he used - and then he died taking his secret to the grave! For years, I wandered in a Staffordshire oatcake free wilderness - and then Sainsburys started to stock 'em (hurrah!) but I can't find any down here (boo!) so have had to trawl the net to find recipes and then try and replicate my childhood memories of their delicious, oaty goodness...

Mmmmm.....

What are you all doing tomorrow without me? With the cava and the oatcakes?

Definitely NOT crap. Especially when covered with dribbly Camembert or a nice slice of Comte!
