Ok, what foods in Britain are named after the area it originated from?


I just thought of Cornish pasties and Yorkshire puddings. Are there any more?

Thanx for your inputs guys!


I know some of them that didn't come to mind, but...wow! there are so many I didn't know as well...


So many of those foods I haven't tried yet! And they sound delicious too! Yum yum!!

Caerphilly Cheese, Tintern Cheese n Chives.
Have now looked up bedfordshire clanger, and it's split 50-50 on the websites as to whether it's made with suet or pastry.

We've lived in Bedfordshire for 40 years, but have never tasted a Bedfordshire Clanger yet!


They used to sell them in a nearby market - they had meat in one end & fruit in the other!

Blackpool rock, Bakewell tarts, Jersey royal potatoes, Stilton cheese, Manx kippers, scotch eggs. And while we're on the subject: a Glasgow salad (aka chips).

Smudge,


Bedfordshire clanger sounds kinda intriguing..Would like to try that someday..


Can anyone tell me if they sell it anywhere in London?


Also, half of these places I've never heard of!

Recipe for a Bedfordshire Clanger



If you scroll down the page after the recipe, it tells you more.

There are loads more cheeses � Cheshire (the oldest named cheese in Britain apparently), Lancashire, Red Leicester, Double Goucester and Cheddar of course. But not Lymeswold � they made that up.


Or how about Arbroath smokies, Bakewell pudding (not the same as Bakewell tart), Bath chaps, Bath oliver biscuits, Lincoln biscuits, brown Windsor soup, Cumberland sauce, Dundee marmalade, Oxford marmalade, Welshcakes, Worcester sauce, Worcester permain apples, London dry gin, Scotch broth, Scotch egg, Scotch woodcock, and, er, Scotch?


At a pinch you could include the sandwich (which named after a person who was named after a place) or beef Wellington (ditto).

Thanx smudge for finding the recipe, its sounds delicious..


George thanx for your answer too. But I was just thinking of dishes.. But then I guess it should be dishes in the title and question not food! LOL
