Don't get me started on bread...now there's barm cakes, oven bottoms, baps, rolls...I've even heard them called tea cakes now to me that's something completely different with raisins. :rotfl:

Now everyone knows that tea-cakes are just huge big barm cakes and you can get them in white, brown or currant flavours

Just don't try asking for a muffin in Lancs though if you want a cake :rotfl:

Oatcakes are another one. They are something completely different here in Staffordshire than anywhere else.:rolleyes:

Ahhhh now are those the pancake thingies? And if so, I don't suppose you have a recipe please? I've been wanting to make some of them for ages!


Ooooops sorry, gone off topic again

yep, them are the ones. I found a recipe here for you but have never tried it. I'd never be able to make them as good as the ones in the little oatcake shop round the corner:

They are gorgeous. Cheese & mushroom oatcakes. Yum, yum, pigs bum

Most people have them with bacon & cheese - I'm a veggie so its mushrooms all the way!

Just to let you all know, I ended up roasting the turnip and lovely it was too!

I simply steamed it then put in a baking tray, drizzled with olive oil and seasoning. Then put in the oven with my roasties.

Yummy!

Thankyou all for your tips.

Now what can I do with 2 cabbages? :rotfl:

I have a swede in the fridge - or is it a turnip. Mr TM is Irish, so whatever I call it, he'll call it the other

Thanks for the tips about adding the spices - I adore nutmeg and cinnamon etc so should be good.

ps CQ - I was looking at Oatcakes the other day in Tesco and nearly bought some. I've bookmarked that recipe page, so may be making them this weekend too

Now then, would that be red, green, white, spring, savoy, pointed or Chinese cabbages? :rotfl:
