Sorry TT, but a fish cake is flaked fish between 2 slices of potato and battered and a scallop is a slice of potato covered in batter: well it was in my village chippy and surrounding chippys.
I had a bacon sarnie on one of said Tea cakes,bread cakes, rolls etc and a cheese sarnie this evening . All in all very advantageous for my well being.
I worked in Sheffield and to sort this out I took a breadcake, a teacake and a currant teacake all the same diameter to get their reaction. The currant teacake was a teacake and the breadcake was a breadcake to them. They were baffled by the teacake and said they didn't have them in Sheffield.
My wife insists that breadcakes are bigger than teacakes...At least I think that is waht she is saying as the ringing in my ears hasn't stopped yet
Are you from Sheffield :d? A teacake is a currant teacake without currants. The texture is different to a breadcake. It has a darker brown smooth upper surface. Dont know if they put sugar in it our what. A breadcake is lighter brown and is the same. colour top and bottom. Anybody work at bakery? They might explain the formula.
Dont know about the colour ..Isn't that simply the difference between steam baked and traditional oven baked?
I live just across the road from that co op. The cheeky ***** have put their prices up on a lot of things. Surely not right,?
You.might be right, I'm no baker but.maybe teacskes are steam baked in Barnsley and breadcake oven baked whereas Sheffield has a steam baked breadcake as well as an oven baked breadcake. Had this debate for donkeys years in work and no one came ip with a definitive answer
Good god, no man! Fishcake is mixed tatey and fish in breadcrumbs Scallop is two bits of tatey with fish in the middle Fish bart coyt is lightly battered fish
Right let's get it straight. Lesson of the day to out of tarners 1. Teacake. = Small breadcake 2. Breadcake= large teacake 3. Currant teacake = teacake wi currants in 4. Fruited teacake = teacake wi currants or raisins or sultanas 5. Bap = Small round tennis ball size breadroll 6. Fishcake= the same as you can buy in the supermarket ( what's not to understand). Fish, tatie. parsley all mashed up in a breadcrumb casing. 7 Patty = Fish between 2 slices of tatie in batter. 8. Scallop = Slice of tatie in batter or a scallop in a shell. 9. Rissole = Mincemeat or fish in pastry or breadcrumbs. Not to be confused with number 6. PS A ginnel is a Snicket not a ginnel Laikin has several connotations. Not just being ont sick. Tea is Tia I could go on Bloomin Dee dars
