"Cockneys eat pie, too. But that horrid green sauce stuff they put on it is disgusting.you enjoy the eels then?"
Eels are OK. A bit overrated by our Dutch brethren. But leave out that disgusting jelly please. It is not how I remember Rowntrees jelly from my younger days. |

I was born a Cockney but since living up here in Lancashire I've adopted the real Northern lifestyle - I wear my flat cap on a Sunday when I take my whippet down to allotment to see how my leeks are doing. Then on to the Working man's Club for a pint of Thwaites, then home to beat up the wife. Eee, champion! |

"I am eating pie
Have you got gravy on this pie?
Northern boys luv gravy!! Xx 
we do indeed
We love brown sauce also up here int North..."
Yes there has to be sauce or relish.
A real northerner has his pie upside down, the pastry broken and then a scoop of peas and lashings of gravy. Then you add red or brown sauce and probably relish. |

To be perfectly serious - since coming up here I've been astonished at the quality and value of eating out, especially in country pubs - wonderful food featuring a lot of game (goose, rabbit, venison, pheasant, etc). All of it served without the "up itself" attitude so prevalent in the South - and at half the price! |

Please tell me you're joking. There is no way anyone puts ketchup on gravy  |

Parsley sauce belongs on fish. When I first moved down south I was intrigued by pie and liquor  |

Although it has parsley in it, the taste is different, a different recipe to each of liquor, and parsley sauce. |

Sorry to be pedantic but that should be 'I were born a Cockney.' |

"I'm a Northerner born n bred but never had warm pork pie  "
The pork pie shop in skipton - you buy if fresh from the oven and they're delicious, just mind the slippery bit of paving where people pour out the hot jelly so they don't burn themselves! |

it's just parsley,water and cornflour. They used to use eel liquor but don't think many do now. Some add green food colouring to make it greener |

I worked and lived in the North near Glossop for 5 years and first mistake was took orders for fish and chips went down and said can I have two cod and chips and two plaice and chips woman gave me a strange look and said we only sell fish when I said what type of fish and she said just fish.
And when in my office engineer was going to sandwich shop said can you get me a cheese and pickle roll weird look and he came back with a small baguette with cheese and piccalilli, when I said what's this he said that's what you asked for explained and he said you should have asked for a barm cake and branston err.

"*inserts tongue in cheek* You cannot become a Northener. Real Northerners are born to it.
Some are born to Northernness and some have Northernness thrust upon them "
You missed out the "some achieve northernness" |

There's no such meal as lunch in my bit of the north, it's dinner . In the evening we have our tea.
If there is some sort of bread on offer it will be a barm if it's soft and round, a cob if it's crusty.
A teacake has currants in (whereas on the wrong side o't Pennines it's a barm, or maybe a cob)
Where am I?
Lol

I hate all this up north bollocks grouping us altogether, there's gods own county then there's all the rest,
And then you get pretenders from Doncaster or Sheffield pretending to be northern even though there actually the Midlands, then there's geordies telling us we're not north enough to be northern,
I'm a Yorkshire man not northern and I don't want grouping together with all them rubber neckers over the border in the red rose county, thank you and sethey |

Oi! Less of the pretenders!
North Yorkshire born and bred. And yes, I may have moved to the far south (any further south and it's chesterfield which doesn't bear thinking about ) but I'm still a Yorkshire lass first but in the north/south conflict I'm northern! 
Will be proving my northern credentials by going out this weekend in the shortest outfit I own without a coat and drink all the men under the table raucously |
