Proper stuff is a bit like white pudding. Needs decent amount of herbs and spices in it though otherwise it’s shite Like white pudding, black pudding, cheaper cuts of meat, etc it’s way tastier than supposed expensive stuff. Peasant food indeed but peasants know how to make food tasty Stick your bland fillet steaks up your hoop. Not your hoop particularly btw Quote

Ashton-Under-Lyne market isn’t the epicentre of hipsterism Quote

When I resided in Crawley, there was a place next to it called Pease Pottage which is named after the dish, even though its more Northern heritage. Havent got a clue why though. Passed my driving test there. Quote

The fish looked awesome big and well crispy batter, unfortunately they were always full of skin & bones, Shite! Edited January 20 by Whitestar Quote
