I don't know about Hard Cider, but you can certainly get Calvados, you could try this, Pork in Calvados. or as it is better known...."le Porc dans le Calvados .......It's Orgasmic ............!!.

I think Fawkes is talking about an East Lancashire dish of beef stew and oatmeal cakes.

I think it's what people had when they were so poor they couldn't afford real food. A verynorthern thing.

Copied & pasted .. Searched for "Stew and Hard" receipe ..



Does anyone remember the oatcake man who had a shop at the bottom of Barkerhouse Rd., Nelson and who hawked oat cakes round Kelbrook, Earby and Barlick, mainly in the pubs and clubs for that wonderful drinking man's delicacy "STEW and HARD"????

My father-in-law kept the Stone Trough Pub for over 21 years and the racks in the kitchen were festooned with soft oatcakes drying to make the "hard" for the stew and hard.

The "Stew" was a concoction of meats, pigs feet or a cow's foot and a touch of gelatine, peppers and salt, that were boiled for ever and ladled into basins to "set".

Commercial Travellers would congregate daily at dinnertime for a Gill of ale and a stew and hard and walk out smacking their lips.

My mouth waters at the thought of an oatcake with thick slices of stew and raw onion and a pint of Tetley's bitter beer. Food of the Gods!!!

My Mum used to make brawn (message 15) from pigs heads. It was disgusting but my Dad used to love it in sandwiches.



She used to boil the pigs head for hours and I'm not sure which was worse, the smell of it or the sight of it bubbling in the saucepan.



Yuk indeed

newly married and wanting to impress my man I sent him off to work with sandwiches made from black pudding, not realizing it had to be cooked first......

The meat from the cheeks on a pigs head is the finest pork you will ever taste without doubt and if you've never tasted it dont knock it lol
