Have you had to introduce any "local" food to your partners, and if so, what was it?

Missus is a veggie, so no

 

But I've spread the word down south about the good old Hollands Steak and Kidney pudding, doubt these cockney mincers could handle em though

As a veggie, she can eat both Black Peas and Butter Pies.

 

PS She can also eat a Reebok Meat pie, as it contains no meat!

Not my partner but Jazza on here and also the brother in law who is a Geordie have both turned into Carrs Pasties junkies!!

I don't know what butter pie or black peas are

wtf is butter pie

I've never heard of it either.

 

Mrs CWP being a Southener, up until recently, had never heard of Black Peas or Parkin, she also didn't know what a "Barm Cake" was either.

 

On the other side of the coin though, I had never heard of "Saveloys" which they serve in the Chip Shops down these parts

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter_pie

 

A butter pie is a savoury pie from the Preston area of Lancashire in North West England. It contains mashed potato, butter, and salt and pepper seasoning in a light pastry casing. It has no relation to the butter tart which is a sweet dish popular in Canada and Scotland.

 

The pie is thought to have been created for workers from Preston's Catholic community, to consume during their lunch break on days where meat could not be eaten. In more recent decades it has become popular with vegetarians and is often served as a vegetarian alternative alongside Lancashire Hotpot.

 

And Black Peas....

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Peas

 

Black Peas, sometimes called "Parched Peas" or "Maple Peas" are a traditional Lancashire dish served often on or around Bonfire Night (5th November). The dish, popular in Bolton, is long soaked overnight and simmered to produce a type of mushy pea. "Parching" is a now defunct term for long slow boiling.

 

The "dish" is a bit over the top

Mash in a pie? So they put the best food ever in the 2nd best food ever?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't think I'd like it.

When I first moved to th'East Midlands they looked blank when I asked for a barm; I eventually realised it's a cob down here. I also eventually realised that there's no need to punch a bloke when he calls you "me ducks"
