What did you all eat as kids on Bonfire Night?
We had the usual treacle toffee, but we also had proper parkin and black peas - talking to people at work today it seems even Mancunians haven't heard of parkin and black peas.
Eeeeeeeeeh lad.
Black peas.............
Parkin with Blue Riband margerine.............
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh lad...........
😀
Butter! You don't spread marg on parkin!!!
I'd love some parkin, you can't get it the sarf.
Proper Jacket spuds made with a real fire.
We never had butter, we had margerine. 😥
My gran always used Blue Riband marg, never did like it 🙁
In our street, lots of mums cooked different things. My mum used to make stovies.
The bonfire was always at the same house as they had a big drive.
I can remember going looking for the burnt fireworks after they'd landed!
Groaty Dick
Groaty pudding (also known as Groaty Dick) is a traditional dish from the Black Country in England. It is made from soaked groats, beef, leeks, onion and beef stock which are baked together at a moderate temperature of approximately 150 °C (302 °F) for up to 16 hours. In the Black Country it is traditional to eat groaty pudding on Guy Fawkes Night.
. . . looks like porridge with meat in it . . .
with bread
I caught groaty dick once, I've not been right since.
Black peas and half a bottle of sarsons.
Eeeee lad. That takes mi back.
As a kid it as treacle toffee and toffee apples.
No Parkin in the south
Toffee apples other than that I can't recall us having anything different.
I grew up between Leeds & Wakefield. Typical bonfire night fare was pretty much this:
parkin - with or without butter. hmm. I wonder if the co-op has any parkin...
hot dogs with fried onions & red/brown/yellow sauces of your choice (red for me)
bonfire toffee
some people had pie'n'peas. That's warm pork pie with warm mushy peas & mint sauce - an abomination in my eye but it takes all kinds
jacket potatoes
toffee apples

Groaty pud is eaten all year round by the yam yam's.
