Yorkshire Born, Yorkshire Bred…
Every once in a while people who know I’m from Yorkshire send me things from or about my homeland. This video for Yorkshire Airlines being one example. It’s so funny, and there’s many a truth in it, plus I think I know all the ‘characters’ in the video from my village / valley.
Now clearly it features some gastronomical top tips like fish n chips out of the newspaper - and I prefer newspaper, yes it leaves print on your hand but there must be something in the ink that’s released as the vinegar and warm fat soak in, cos it smells good. If I’m feeling posh (Alan Bennett class) then I’ll have them on a plate with mushy peas.
Other delicacy’s I recommend include mushy peas on top of a warm pork pie and a nice dollop of mint sauce. You eat them with a spoon and fork, don’t go asking for a knife. Lastly the canape that’s so often overlooked is the honeycomb tripe with a little salt and vinegar. Right I’m going to shut up before I get all Hovis and start my “eeeh when I warra lass” stories.
