Place-name meals

[Maggot]

Both nice, but got us thinking over dinner...with the notable exception of Lancashire hotpot, why are there so few full UK meals that proudly display their origins with a place-name in their title?

Lancashire Hotpot.

Nottinghamshire Pie

I might have missed that bit...

Skim reading fail - go and have a think about what you've done

Nottinghamshire Pie

No one’s ever heard of that. Come on. Have you ever seen it on a menu. Of course not. It’s probably awful.

I think it says a lot about the UK, or perhaps me, that most of the regionally named dishes I can think of aren't full meals, they're puddings.

Torquay Lime Pie

I suppose pasties, proper ones, could constitute a full meal, but not the latter 2?

A proper Yorkshire pud can be a brilliant starter with a lovely rich onion gravy and can be turned into a yummy dessert too.

I do like a good salade Nicoise in the summer tbh.
But I can't argue with your logic.

Really?

Loads of pots, tuna, eggs and the beans/toms etc.; I was well stuffed. For full transparency, bread was also eaten.

They're one of the few foods you can eat whilst playing hopscotch. Hence the name

Bedfordshire clamgers are a full meal with savoury at one end and sweet at the other.

Cornish cream tea. A light meal admittedly but a meal none the less

How to tell when you're on ignore (I knew already btw, I'm not stupid )
(Even though it is easy to tell, I am sometimes confused as to why though)
