More Northern foods available on the interweb: we used to suck Uncle Joe's Mint Balls on the terraces and in the Lad's Stand at Gigg Lane back in the days before pies (or Fisherman's Friends!). Well, when we were really poor, Grandad sucked one and we all stood round warming our hands on his breath. Never tried Henderson's Relish, being a Lancastrian, but I'm willing to give it a go! My bag of black peas arrived safely from Ken Bentley of Driffield and some are currently soaking. Now to source some veggie faggots and suet puddings! BTW become a fan of Foul Medammas, some interesting beans from the East (3 tins for a pound at the Taj Mahal).
