nonnaB 4,893 Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Mrs B Welcome to NS. You'll hear all sorts of banter here old and new. Enjoy it. BTW I'm from Barrow in Furness just across the water. Mum and Dad both worked in the ship yard. A few years ago my husband and I passed through Barrow. Me wanting to drink some sass and my husband wanting to see where I was born. No longer sass made, so sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,893 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hi MrsB. Dad was from Millom and visiting his family in Ulveston as children we would always look out for the blue works and the Hoad ( Hode?) on top of the hill.. Very fond memories spent with my maternal grand parents winkling and treading for eels over Walney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 We had a pork pie last week. Dickinson & Morris (Melton Mowbray) bought from Gonalston farm shop. The crust was soft and there was no jelly. Where can we buy a decent one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Phil, If you find one that still has jelly in, please let me know. I'm having withdrawal symptoms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Another favourite with me is black pudding. Many years ago I used to go to George Stafford’s shop at Stanley Common near Ilkeston. I believe they are still made to his recipe. George is now in the great black pudding shop up in the sky.

It’s mainly the jelly I find unpleasant but also the colour…. The pastry is nice though! Love the pastry ate the jelly !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was fray bentos tinned steak pie , once afew of us lads camped out at bulwell hall park remember those disused railway embankments ? Some one said there was a ghost train at midnight , we camped out we had a fray bentos pie with no tin opener to open that flat round tin , and no idea how to cooking it , funny old days them 70,s were !!!

I remember Promise, lemon meringue pie. Think they did other desserts as well. Birds trifle kits etc. Probably full of the now banned hydrogenated fats! Smash dried potato and Marvel milk was, I suppose, only like the stuff available during the war. Don't remember seeing any powdered egg though. Jill, i remember that birds eye trifle mix, we used too have it for sunday tea , the custard put me off abit but it was a good pudding ,but not as good as me Dad's ho.e made rice pudding baked in the oven !!

Annesley Red 80 Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 So where is the best Pork Pie around Nottingham ? Any recomendations ? Barlows Butchers do a good one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 I like Maloney's of Tuxford but since our local farm shop burnt down I can't find a nearby stockist! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barlows Butchers do a good one. Evening all, been a while. Much as it pains me to say it, the best pork pie I've ever tasted in me life is Tesco's "Ultimate" one, which I'm pretty sure is a Dickens and Morris product. Chunks of proper pork, tasty jelly, and a nice spicy flavour. All for less than four quid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Since Gonalston farm shop burnt down in September we’ve not been able to find a Maloney’s pie locally. Last week we were close to their pie bakery in Tuxford so it seem appropriate to buy one. Still my favourite but open to suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,217 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Is a pork pie still a breakfast dish in Nottinghamshire on Christmas morning? Do you eat it on its own, with sauce or something else I came from a mining village in North Notts and to the best of my knowledge no one in our extended family ate it.

Never had that. Boxing day was usually some left over pigs in blankets fried in goose fat and wedged between two thick slices of white bread. Sauce was an option, extra cholesterol wasn't. PS; my Nan always said the white bread was "Clarty" When asked to explain, she just used to say "Well, Clarty's Clarty" never did find out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Often used around the Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire border, a more common useage was "claggy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
