Cobbler is American, I think?

from British American colonies

― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:02 (five years ago)

yeah it shouldn't be on here really, I just wanted to say cobblers.

jury, please do not vote for the cobbler.

― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:03 (five years ago)

(xp) Ah the good old days before all that unpleasantness.

― Authoritarian Steaks (Tom D.), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:03 (five years ago)

dunno why it's on the Wikipedia page actually, maybe some guff about it being "ethnically English" or sth

― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:04 (five years ago)

Does Manchester have especially friendly tarts?

― sharpening the contraindications (Aimless), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:11 (five years ago)

never sampled one myself but they look quite tasty

― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:15 (five years ago)

oi oi

― imago, Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:17 (five years ago)

Are we voting for best name or nicest btw

― imago, Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:20 (five years ago)

Because fuck me potted shrimps are good

― imago, Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:20 (five years ago)

This is probably a can of worms and I'm far from an expert on the subject, but including a word that's arguably an ethnic slur for the Roma is kind of iffy, no?

― Tahini Coates (Leee), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:26 (five years ago)

couldn't decide between a savory and a sweet. voted for the clanger.

― sharpening the contraindications (Aimless), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:27 (five years ago)

xp hm yeah maybe. it's a real thing though

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsy_tart

― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:28 (five years ago)

I assumed that it references a real thing, but maybe next time don't include it in a poll that's mostly for the lulz?

(Spotted dick ftw btw.)

― Tahini Coates (Leee), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:34 (five years ago)

yeah soz didn't think about it as I was copying across anything that sounded rude.

lardy cake for me

― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:35 (five years ago)

No bakewell pudding?

― American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:57 (five years ago)

wasn't funny enough

― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 29 April 2021 21:58 (five years ago)

You mean you couldn’t imagine a Ronnie talking about giving a Manchester tart a bakewell pudding.

― American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Thursday, 29 April 2021 22:03 (five years ago)

Knickerbocker

― flagpost fucking (darraghmac), Thursday, 29 April 2021 22:47 (five years ago)

nice list also nuke the south i'm confused

― Call of Scampi: Slack Nephrops (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 29 April 2021 22:51 (five years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Just some raw onion for the Ploughman's lunch

― If you value Vox, we have an axe (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 30 April 2021 02:42 (five years ago)

Ploughman's lunch is bland, dispiriting and unimaginative compared to just about every food item named in this poll.

― sharpening the contraindications (Aimless), Friday, 30 April 2021 02:46 (five years ago)

the jelly part of the jellied eel seems rough

― If you value Vox, we have an axe (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 30 April 2021 03:00 (five years ago)

I really love faggots

― Call of Scampi: Slack Nephrops (Noodle Vague), Friday, 30 April 2021 09:55 (five years ago)

will rep for cumberland sausage, pork scratchings and toad in the hole as good things to eat

― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 30 April 2021 11:01 (five years ago)

I had a queen of puddings not very long ago and it was delicious, though it doesn't sound particularly appealing on paper and the version on Wikipedia actually looks gross.

― I took drugs recently and why doesn't the UK? (ledge), Friday, 30 April 2021 11:39 (five years ago)

toad in the hole appears to be a "fuck it" sausage roll

― If you value Vox, we have an axe (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 30 April 2021 18:48 (five years ago)

so many of these are permutations of pie ingredients and sausage, where cumberland sausage is a limit -- 'what if the whole pie is sausage'

― If you value Vox, we have an axe (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 30 April 2021 18:57 (five years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Saturday, 1 May 2021 00:01 (five years ago)

Local supermarket does a black pudding sausage roll that's quite tasty.

― Stevolende, Saturday, 1 May 2021 06:26 (five years ago)

i wouldve voted for mince pie
