Teams from Yorkshire and those 'B' teams.

I'm going to get burned at the stake for this, then.
I did buy a Bakewell pudding when on a visit to the veryplace. I found it really greasy and heavy, my wife and son wouldn't finish it either.
The confection sold as Bakewell tart, although I agree is an imposter, I do enjoy.

Which one of the two original Bakewell pudding shops did you visit RID?

It was years ago, Spart, but I do remember the puddings were in a glass case on the counter- it was a very busy shop.

RiD, give Bakewell Pudding another chance! My grandfather was Workhouse master at Bakewell and I use my gran's recipe. It eschews such travesties as cherries and icing!

I felt the need to provide some photographic evidence of me eating the Drogheda Scone. This is probably me at my happiest. Except when we hammer the Dogs 5 nil, of course.

Cat - are you from that neck of the woods? All my family are from Matlock/Darley Dale/Youlgreave/Bakewell area

Moj! How tempting that looks! !
I'm already all over Ryan air!

Cat- the cherries I definitely agree should not be found in ANY confectionery, can't stand those glace bloody cherries. Dark, Morello cherries in hot puds- yum.
I'll give the Bakewell Pud another try, you must give me the recipe!

I have a more 'in-depth' view too Durango:
