    Can't imagine how awful rationing must have been during the War and for years afterwards. We are so privileged really.
    I bet this bloke would have some in his suitcase...

    Only Northern kids wouldn't be poncing around with Haribo. They're weaned off the milk and straight onto the pie, black pudding, Eccles cake, or whatever the local 'delicacy' happens to be.

    My Dad (born and raised in Manchester) loved Eccles cakes but the only ones he could buy Darn Sarf were never as good and he longed to taste once again a genuine Northern one!

    Same here with oatcakes. They just don't taste the same once they leave Stoke.

    Optimum oatcake eating time is as you're leaving the oatcake shop - passing it from one hand to the other because it's giving you 3rd degree burns through the paper. This is a plus in winter when it's freezing ya bits off, but problematic in summer.

    I miss my oatcakes.

    You might have to ask Terry to send you a secret supply....Essential shopping for a friend in need, so to speak? More than a grain of truth in that..

    No point. The moment an oatcake leaves the Staffordshire border - it surrenders its deliciousness.

    They sell them in our local Tesco, and I've given them a try - naturally - but they're not the same. I have my memories, P, and that will have to keep me going until I can get back into Stoke and burn my hands on a freshly made oatcake!

    Meanwhile, loads of 'dead fly cakes' here.
