Happy Lancashire Day

(It isn’t really today, we just decided to celebrate ?)

???Dow! After just learning something unpleasant elsewhere .. Thought I'd extend my knowledge on a brighter subject.
You got me there Blossoming ? Cheese on toast!
Had the desired effect anyway.

What's butter pie?

What's butter pie?

It's a pie made with butter and has potatoes in it. It's really tasty.

I was brought up in Lancashire, but born in Yorkshire. I had cheese on toast at lunch time, purely by chance, the cheese came from a Lancashire creamery.
I would like to the recipe for butter pie please. Happy (not) Lancashire day everyone.

There actually is a Lancashire Day in November when there’s a big food market with local producers. We just felt like having some fun. Glad it cheered people up!

Butter pies are a local delicacy, sometimes called Friday pies because no meat was to be eaten on a Friday.

This is a good recipe

Happy not-Lancashire Day from Lancashire! X

Ok- here’s a question for you.
What is a coconutter and which town are they associated with?

My daughter lives in Pendle area the pies up there are the best. When I stay with her (not for a year now) we have a pub lunch it’s always a big decision cheese and onion or steak. Can not wait til we can go there again I love it there.

I looked it up dancers from Bacup?

Lovely walking around Pendle and some great pubs for lunch. It will be good to get out and also to support our small businesses too.

Redhead absolutely correct. They dance every Easter going from pub to pub. I think the dancing is more coordinated at the start of the day.
I wonder if they are doing it this year? Doubt it.

The coconutters are a border Morris side, though blackface may not be so acceptable these days.

I grew up around Pendle and really miss it. My sister used to live near Wigan and they had amazing butter pies there!

Speaking as a died in the wool Yorkshire lass, proper farmhouse Lancashire cheese is the absolute dogs thingies! Beyond delicious.?. Unsurpassed for cheese and onion pie. And cheese on toast.

Now I have to go and have a lie down because saying nice things about Lancashire has made me come over all unnecessary!?.

Blossoming it was nothing to do with racism though.

Greyduster you should be banging the drum for Wensleydale! Nothing beats it toasted with chopped spring onion balanced on top.
Hotpot anyone?

Blossoming Thank you for the recipe.

Pamelaj1 I know it isn’t, but you know what some folk are like these days!

Greyduster I love Wensleydale cheese and Coverdale cheese and Yorkshire curd tart. I am missing trips across the border!
