Yorkshire puddings!  Hot or cold, with gravy or (did I really used to eat these?) golden syrup :yum: :yum:

Or with crunchy peanut butter!  :yum:   Haven't managed to convince Rosemary of their virtues yet though...

How about different flavours of crisps, ie prawn cocktail, cheese and onion, Worcester sauce etc. Im fed up with the boring French flavours. You cant get Wheat crunchies or Skips over here either. All the above are easy to pass round and kids will love to try them. Deffo pork pie with various pickles and brown sauce!!!Pickled onions are a must as previously said, an perhaps some individual fruit jellies done in plastic cups.

That's what we did at home.  When I was first married I made a batch of Y Puds and put some to one side.  OH asked what they were for...when I poured syrup on them he looked  :o :o horrified - well his family are from York :innocent: :innocent:

A lot of those flavours aren't around in other countries because the artificial additives are banned.

(Added to say that these days there are a lot more natural flavours around - but I think it's now simply tradition that there aren't that many flavours available. I don't like them, either. Well, some cheese and onion are ok... ;D )

I quite fancy that. Do you have them hot or cold, Dan?

Coming from just up the road from Bakewell -  I have to say that we call it a Pudding, not a tart!!!
 
I have to admit to loving savoury pies - meat and potato with mushy peas is a favourite (we quite often pop over the border to Lancashire, as all the bakeries sell this as a takeaway, and its divine!)
Staffordshire oatcakes (the big round ones) are lovely with a fried breakfast ....and Bury black puddings of course!!!
 
I do tend to like traditional food - often using old fashioned recipes in an old book, which are rather stodgy.......you would think I would be rather larger than a size 10 ;D
