Wainy316 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Also confuse and offend your American mates by telling them you ate some 'faggots'... I believe these are native to West Midlands too (Black Country). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are my favourite t The bakehouse is in Crosby (down the road across the fields) but they actually sell them in our local shop The place is called Satterthwaites. It closed down a while back because the owner was retiring and couldn't find a buyer, they reckoned the secret pork pie recipe was half the value. In the end a few people including the previous head baker bought it (he knew the recipe anyway) and the institution is back on its feet again. I noticed the other day that someone had opened a rival bake shop, I laughed, they are stupid to try 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Had a wonderful baguette today from a deli in Lichfield. You know when it just hits the spot? Chicken, pesto, avocado, sundried tomatoes, jalapenos and black pepper. Superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
