Can you imagine going to a cafe and asking for tea cake for you breakfast and they just give you one of these. In the chippy tho wouldn’t you just say a chip butty? At last someone who knows what a round lump of bread is... It's A Breadcake but then she would know this being from the same town as me . Vamps is spot on when she says Teacakes have currants in them . Apart from that Teacakes can be classed as a very mild insult/telling off How many can remember years ago maybe your Granddad saying .. "What are you doing ? You are a right Teacake " If he thought what you were doing was not right. Thinking about it I got upgraded to a "Barm pot" ,which is another name for a breadcake but this ones in a pot . Does anyone own one of these vessels and if so what do you do with it ? Keep your breadcakes inside it maybe ? Edited May 23, 2020 by kalos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacakes were plain bread ones in my part of West Yorkshire as I was growing up, which was why you signified the sweeter fruity one with the epithet of "currant" teacake. Unfortunately even here this has been adulterated by influences from South, East and even West over the border in the county we don't talk about, so that Bap, Barm and other inappropriate names for the West Yorkshire teacake have infiltrated their way in and taken over, a bit like Kirklees itself.😕 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an old fashioned wide topped narrow bottomed pot for making and proving bread dough. I still use one that used to belong to my grandma. It's terracotta on the outside and cream glazed inside. It's donkey's years old and I treat it like gold. I'm the only one that touches it. If anything happened to it I'd be devastated. Avril 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half a teacake that!" The young employee who thought they'd finished the task had no clue what she was saying but I fell about laughing. We then always used that phrase for any job half-done.

Very much a Bettys thing, but there are some recipes easily available with a quick Google. No idea how good they recipes are but there's one here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/fatrascals_93997 Harry Edited May 23, 2020 by Harry Peterson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vampiress88 Posted May 23, 2020 #1741 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Never seen owt like that before. went on a lovely walk by a canal today that’s about 10mins drive from me. We looked at all the canal boats. Wish someone would invite me in to have a nosy. And we saw all the locks too. Baby ducklings everywhere some very little must not have been old but it was very windy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of his books that was bought for me and the amounts of eggs, butter and cream have put me off trying any of the recipes. I made a Mary Berry lemon sponge this morning. 🍰🍰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted May 23, 2020 #1747 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think James Martin trained in France which explains a lot! Much cooler today after a very warm couple of days. Even had a short very heavy shower early afternoon. Yesterday had a very frustrating work morning as my PC crashed three times 🙄 Followed by some calming down time in the garden!

Couple of guys have posted loads of videos of their boat being built. The final result is lush. We had one built for us, and had some great times on her. Called her "Little Nell" - as with all boats, lost money when we sold her, but the memories are priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril Hi "sis",took a while to sort out photos.First,the restrictions,hand gel on entry,all tables 2 top and 1 metre apart which is more practical than UK 2 metre and disposable masks which must be used if you leave table for toilet or any reason.All in all not too bad.We were the only ones in there although the pizza guy was busy with takeouts.Very large voddies,I normally have a carafe of draft prosecco at 8euro a litre but the pump was broke so settled for a Calabrian plonk.Tomato bruschetta and veggie fritter each as part of the cover charge.The rest you can see.There was loads of sea bream fillets under all those toms and olives.Excellant,4 voddy and cokes,1 bottle of wine,1 litre of water and all that food for 64 euro.Cheers,Brian. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
