Time again for that north, middle, south food divide.
What weird and wonderful things do you eat that seem normal to you but other people say "what"
Inspired by the bacon thread and can someone please tell me what on earth is a potato scone  |

I wondered whether it was a potato waffle?
I was thinking of all the different things we call those rolls of bread... barms, barmcakes, bread rolls, cobs.  |

A tatty scone is half way between pancake and a hash brown I believe... Mashed potato with flour and then baked/shallow fried.
Next time you have a tuna mayo sandwich, try a good spoon full of mint sauce.. Makes the world of difference! |

A peanut butter (crunchy) and jam sandwich on very rare occasions, to sweet for regularity.
My Sis couldn't understand this until she tried one.
Not my invention.
U.S Peanut Butter and Jelly.

I think the fact the is a sauce known only by its colour says something about the UK and its thoughts on food
"Brown sauce" usually declared with such pride and "the final word"
What seriously any sauce that's brown
No no THE brown sauce
Oh oh cool erm what's in it
Dunno but its brown
Seriously no ridicule and certainly no judgemental condemnation it just makes me smile that it's colour is the noun 
Perfect for bacon I hear

Not a regional thing but I do like new potatoes with skins on part boiled in extremely salty water and then roasted in the oven.
Once finished covered in mayo, chopped garlic and fresh chillies |

"Chippy sauce.. How could I forget that Edinburgh delicacy "

Talking of regional variations, anyone heard of babbies yed and chips?
(Steak pudding and chips ) |

Ok so very similar to my post on the bacon thread haha. But since I'm scottish:
Morton's rolls (a crispy roll, referred to as a morning roll quite often as people have them with a fry up. Tremendous.)
Square slice (sausage). Yip not links, square. So much better haha.
Already mentioned but potato scone. It's not like hash brown. Difficult to describe. Try it.
And the best thing about the 3 above. They all go together.
Morning roll, square slice, potato scone and brown sauce to top it off. Always brown.

It’s a sort of brown sauce heavily watered down with vinegar type thing I think - very Edinburgh. |

As a Glaswegian it has to be salt and vinegar on a chippy.
But as far as I understand, an East coast chippy is salt and sauce. The sauce being mixture of brown sauce and vinegar

Stick a slice of American cheese in that and you've just raised your yankee doodle game (trust me on this!) |

That sounds a lot like canarian potatoes with mojo (pronounced mo yo) sauce |

I grew up in South London and it's something my dad's family eat who grew up in Wimbledon. Their mum is Dutch though so that could be a factor too. They do like their mayo.
Liverpool foods are scouse, chip butties (I was baffled by this name for a sandwich when I moved up north) and having 1001 sauces in the chippy is definitely more a northern thing. I never sauce hot BBQ sauce at a chip shop when I lived down south anyway. |

Aha, thought you were from there too..
Chips sort of demand to be made into a butty, rem_mber getting a funny look when making one during a chippie tea at the wife's parents who are initially from Dulwich and Ealing..
Agree on the sauce issue, only red on chips or the proper mayo in Belgium.. |

"Cheese" yeah  American cheese is mainly salty. It speaks to the whole sweet and salty dichotomy which works well (if you like that kinda thing) |

"Oh I love a potato scone.
It's about the size of an American/Scottish pancake. Round and flat, you toast it.
It doesn't taste of potato. It's a bit like a heavy bread product. "
Traditional tottie scones are triangular in shape  |

"I cant understand how anyone can enjoy liquorice. (Puke)
Broccoli! Brussel sprouts. All minging "
Oh I love liquorice and brocolli. Brocolli tender stems or normal brocolli in cheese sauce or a stir fry. Plain brocolli is boring I'll give you that but those little flurry florets take up all the flavour of any sauce you cook it in and it's so good!
Not into sprouts though. |
