Unless I'm very much mistaken, they used to heat them up in the kilns at the potteries many moons ago. And I think their full title is actually North Staffordshire Oatcakes, which does imply Stoke. Luckily enough, the old dear's from Stoke, so I get to eat them more that a 'regular' Staffordian might. In fact I had some for my tea on Tuesday. Skill to the mum.dirtybobby said:i have never associated oatcakes with stoke, tbh - i always just thought "oh, they're a staffordshire thing".. as i say, i think historically they were associated heavily with the potteries, but in modern times that has expanded to all of our fair county.. i don't think they've ever been called "stoke oatcakes"Sofa said:Oatcakes are a Staffordshire delight, but I have always thought of their spiritual home as being Stoke. Does anyone else feel that way, too, or it just me?

It's very popular in the asia pacific rim. In particular - Honk Kong and also Hawaii (is a staple diet for surfers and you will find it in the most posh eaterys). Alot of these areas have to import most of their food products and canned meat is often the only way some folk will ever eat meat, unless they only eat fish and kill their pets.Jheych said:Gordon Bennet!
Is SPAM getting popular now? I wonder if anyone has any decent recipes?
like it!Moley said:Honk Kong
Maybe they got shut down for false advertising by calling it "Cornish Pasty", you can't call it that unless it's made in Cornwall, i've seen a few places around calling there "Pasties" Cornish but there blatently not because they taste crap and they look like they've just been run over by a tank.Dr Elliott MooG said:There was a great pasty shop in Stafford. It moved from opposite the Orange shop to round the back of the post office then, one day, I went there for my pastry and meat fix and the shop was closed. Anyone know what happened?
Well done on your Cornish history sir! I would give a skill point but your the cuffy guy so no.rich upsetter said:dirtybobby said:i assume it's confusing it with the word "ogle"..Wookie said:"Oggle"?

Cornish pasty, often called oggy or oggie in the Westcountry of England.
I think you mean The Real Cornish Pasty Shop in Crabberry street. It was owned by Gus, owner of Mcgreggors sandwich shop in the same street. Sadly, he died and, I guess, they've streamlined the business. Only met him a few times, lovely man.Dr Elliott MooG said:There was a great pasty shop in Stafford.
