What's it called where you're from

[GMES]

A couple of you got me thinking earlier ( Can't remember who it was sorry ) but it was calling Lunch Dinner and dinner tea or something like that.

So how many different things have different names dependent on where you live:

I will kick it off from South Yorkshire ,
A fishcake is Potato then fish then Potato in Batter
A rissole is orange with Breadcrumbs
And a breadcake is a bloody breadcake.

Let's here em!!!!

Interesting.
Do your fishcakes have thick slices of potato or mashed ? We have a fish scallop which is a slice of potato and slice of fish. The jewel of Hull fish shops is the pattie though. We put them in breadcakes too. .

What does your tea do when it's in the pot ? Brew ? Stew ? It mashes round here.

Scallop fishcake is a slice of potato then fish then another slice of potato.
A fishcake is mashed potato and fish combined then coated in breadcrumbs.

Rissole- aint got a clue never had one

Bread cake - Bread cake It was a bread bun when I lived up north (county Durham)

another is Scraps - scraps of batter that you get for free at the fish shop. often known as bits elsewhere

scouse is just about all leftovers of beef or lamb and veg, made into a sort of stew. elsewhere known as lobby.

lava bread is seaweed.

Ah glad you know of that one, the flavour of my youth. If you're a fan you can buy it in tubs. Outside of Hull it's a rip off though, best to buy in bulk probably.

Supper = with chips
Fish supper = Fish & chips

Definitely dinner at 12 o clock and tea at 5 o clock - lunch is something the tory MPs do.

Up here we have something called a dab. Often get a dab and chips - basically it's fish between two hash browns.

Chip muffin for dinner or if you go a few mile up the road it's a chip barm.
You can get a chip barm with pea wet n scraps if you like !
Weirdos !

 

[Barry White]

pea wet n scraps

Sounds kinky but I bet it sells well Plumbers love being wet.

Used to be able to get "scrumps" when I lived in Bath left over bit of batter and iffy chips
H&S got their nickers in a twist and they got banned, scrumps that is.

Scrumps and scraps sound same to me but scrumps sounds better.

Wet muffin sounds a bit wrong to be honest !

I once went in a chippy in Perth ( north of the border, a strange but pleasant land ). I asked for puddin, chips n gravy.
What followed on from my request was a deep and lengthy, almost heated debate about what I was asking for. I wish I had taken a Scottish phrase book to be honest. Finally, the penny dropped, ( or I thought it had).

" ah, you mean a poodin ", says the fryer, "why didny ya saaaay"
" well I did say puddin but never mind all that, can I have a poodin" ?

When it came, it was white, long greasy looking thing in batter.

Should have asked for a deep fried mars bar
