Had my first Staffordshire Oat Cake in a hotel in May. Will try making my own now with the recipe you shared. Enjoyed their more savoury taste than ordinary pancakes.
Got a massive craving for Heinz Sponge Pudding and condensed milk recently. Those tins were a real treat growing up. Still sad they’re discontinued.
Oh brilliant! I'm glad you enjoyed the oatcakes. I like them better than ordinary pancakes too and I have convinced myself they're healthier (though they possibly aren't).
Isn't it funny what your brain tells you you want sometimes? But also how specific the flavour of things are. I bet even if you made a sponge pudding it just wouldn't be right for your craving cos it wouldn't have the right, erm, factory taste?
Thanks for sharing some of your history Kel 😊 ... I've never tried either but I wonder how Staffordshire Oatcakes compares to Findus Crispy Pancakes. I'm not sure what my food heritage is (I grew up eating mainly English classics, but also eating seafood and Spanish and rarely Arabic dishes ... but also a mixture of fast foods and takeaways - like you say English food doesn't really have a great reputation, perhaps that's why we have such a great foodie scene in many UK cities now because historically (due to wars and other inconveniences) we were gastronomically repressed.
Yeah that’d an interesting take on it, makes sense but I think our foodie scene massively has immigration to thank too. So much of my favourite food goes back to people who came her from elsewhere and wanted to cook the food that reminded them of home.

I used to love a crispy pancake x
