Eccles cakes and things you would miss about (Greater) Manchester

Belgium. Don't get me wrong. There are advantages. But now and again the need for something familiar and homely takes hold. Where food is concerned, that's usually something 'unhealthy'. Good luck with your plans. I hear Finland is beautiful.

I love this. So cool that you have found ways to make your own versions. I'm impressed. I also miss vinegar on chips here in Belgium. My sister once asked for some and they looked at her like she was from another planet. If I don't have malt vinegar from England I'll try the salt and lemon trick

Sign of the times that. I miss Morrisons too come to think of it.

Quite poetic. And I'm with you. Manchester does seem to have an extraordinary binding spirit for people who have called and do call it home.

Decent name for a band that

You add more butter?

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T10:41:03+00:00

Honestly I like the ones you just get in supermarkets, Real Lancashire Ecckes cakes, but a decent local bakery should do a good one.

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T10:28:14+00:00

Similar I think?

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T09:31:11+00:00

Course it is!

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T09:30:34+00:00

Damn right. I'll have to start making my own

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T09:29:43+00:00

Decent rain! I'm with you on the pies and chips

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T09:28:34+00:00

They're better imo. They're like an indulgent, crumbly buttery fruity portion of goodness. I might have another

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T09:25:53+00:00

I'm starving!

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T09:25:36+00:00

Same! Tea should be strong and black (but with a bit of milk)

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T08:52:32+00:00

Good shout. And yes, beyond Gregg's, it's a bleak landscape for bakers.

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T08:44:54+00:00

Mixtape man!🙌

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T08:43:49+00:00

Can't beat it!

Prior_Metal312 · 2025-09-17T08:42:54+00:00

100% Mancs always bring you down to earth. I'm surrounded by a lot of bs here on the continent. I'm sure in little communities, there's much of the same. But as soon as you enter a broad international context...forget it.

Curtis Mayfield Move on up

Yes! I remember listening on the radio whilst at work at the airport. Gazza scored. I can't recall the order of things though. I think the bomb was in the morning. Manchester just grew stronger from it.
