Northern food that is weird to southerners

I probably don't need enlightenment on this subject, but I am a glutton for punishment and incredibly nosy so if any lovely northerners would be so kind to post what "normal food combos" they enjoy a gazillion miles from the south

What I liked on occasion when I lived in Leeds was that practically every chippy did battered chocolate, from creme eggs, mint aeros, Mars bars, snickers, list goes on

It was a nice albeit sickly treat in the 2 years I lived there I tried the creme egg, snickers (was delicious just don't go for kingsize bar), Mars bar.

I had a Geordie stottie in Newcastle last year.

A large white bread gap, with a meat stew on it.

It was quite bland,but hearty.

There are other additives to it. To make them a bit more cosmopolitan.

"Food is nice up north.

Spam on breakfast and scraps on chips.

When you go further up to Scotland then you get battered black puddings in the chip shops.

You can get a black pudding fritter at a chip shop in Dorset

I always thought a Northern style chippy down south would be a gold mine in the right place.

I’ve read the thread. I’m gonna have to debunk a few.

Chips and sauce is a thing in cardiff.

Chips, cheese and gravy is basically poutine.

Chip shops sell battered hamburgers, why? I’m not sure.

I went to Blackpool once and discovered cheese on toast with a poached egg on top. This blew my mind

Hull

No-one has mentioned Pattie's - these seem particular to Hull and the East Riding.

Brilliant with Chips, Gravy or Curry Sauce, topped off with Chip Spice ("invented" in Hull!).

From Scotland-

Scotch Pies (some Morrisons branches in England sell them). Usually in Scotland, they come as a Pie Supper at the local chippie.

Lorne Sausage - square sausage meet, cooked with or without Batter. (Iceland stores sell it).

Plain bread. Not the stuff that's sold throughout the rest of the UK, which is known as a Pan loaf in Scotland.

Plain bread is rectangular, with a thick "heel" or slice at each end of the loaf. These "heels" have thick crusty edges top & bottom. When toasted with lashings of butter and a filling of choice, they're almost a meal in itself.
