I know someone put the thread about Clootie Dumpling and it made me think of something. Im sure it was on Ade Edmunsons programme when he went round all the different towns and cities in the u.k and talked about traditions and music and food. It was in one of the Northern places and he was talking about a sweet they made a bit like a Nougat that you mixed a whole lot of things together into one block and they called it something and i cannot remember what its name was. It was traditional to the area he was in.
Can anyone think what it might be?. I suppose i could have looked back at programmes but i cannot remember which one it would have been in. Any ideas and Northern lads or lasses?. If its not North i apologize.
I was born and brought up in Yorkshire for 18 years but never heard of Yorkshire brack.
I have made a very similar cake to this a few times though for my daughter who doesn't eat any fat, as this recipe has no marge or butter in.
OOh thanks saasher and all but no it was not Brack. It was like a big white Nougat sweet filled filled sweet things like cherries and chocolate and other things and then,,it must have been frozen or something and then cut up like Nougat but he sat in his car and was just eating the whole thing LOL. Its BUGGING ME NOW. I will have to look back and try and find the programme.
So what makes you think it wasn't nougat. You get all those bits of cherry and nut and stuff in nougat don't you. How was it different?
NO CG i said it was like Nougat Hun same sweetness same consistency just made on a bigger scale ,in a BIG lump!!!!!. I will put a picture on if i find it.
It looked the same colour as above yes but more homemade looking. Its just that it had a Particular name that Northerners had given it and i cannot think for the life of me what it was????.
I want one now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Whatever it was .
OI CHEEKY Wotsit Saasher!!!!!!!!!!. LOL, LOL, LOL, i told you this is what happens when you turn 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
