Treats/snacks from up north you can’t get down south?

Posted by Babadoh@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 20 comments

I’m finishing up a 12 month contract for a client in London and I’m based in Manchester. I wanted to take some treats for people as a thank you and thought it would be nice to take something local that isn’t available/common in London - Eccles cakes was an idea but grateful any other suggestions. Thank you!

Peach/pineapple melbas from Gregg's and corned beef/cheese patty from the chippy, I miss those! And like another comment said Pease Pudding from the butcher.

Freshly made pease pudding.

I have seen it in cans in supermarkets, but it’s not the same as getting it from your local butcher who has made it using stock they have made with their own ham bones.

Manchester Tart, Kendal Mint Cake, Parkin, Dandelion and Burdock.

You can get dandelion and burdock in my local supermarkets (Sussex). Kendal mint cake you can find in camping shops.

Never looked for parkin as I bake my own
