What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[KeyserSoze]

must say it's something that's escaped my yoof. Maybe it didn't reach farnworth.

Ha I'm home and been for pudding and chips today. Our Maud v confused by my uncle's reference to a babby's yed.

I was born in Bolton and, two years in White rose land apart, have lived in and around it all my life. I have honestly, hand on heart, no recollection of ever hearing that expression. I Googled it and it claims it's a Wigan thing?

Indeed it is a Wigan thing Tango, very commonly used in these parts along with "Pea Wet" (or "Pey Wet" as it's pronounced in Wigan)

I'm not having any of that as being a Wigan thing, Wigan. We've used babby's yed and pea wet for all of my life.

I maybe wrong but I've never heard of it being used anywhere outside, and when I've mentioned it at work in both Bolton and Manchester, I've had blank looks.

I have known steak and kidney puddings as "babies yed" all my life. I certainly wouldn't say it was exclusive to Wigan as nearly everyone in Tonge Moor called it the same when I was growing up.

Clempt is also another word that I have always used.

Chorley New Road

Anyway whatever.

Last night celebrated my return to competitive running (sort of) with a few scoops at the Bank Top brewery pub in 'Orwich.

Lots and lots of Flat Cap and good banter with the family. No noisy house music or invasive fruit machine just loud conversations all over the room. Good times.

I've just asked around the office and the voting went as follows - The representatives of Bolton, Bury and Chorley are all familiar with the term 'Babbies yed' and use it regularly.

However, the ones heralding from Rossendale, Accrington and Oldham weren't familar with it, and Hale Barnes didn't even know what a steak pudding is, but thinks that they sound "Frightfully good".

In my office, Bolton ones hadnt heard of it, Chorley ones had no clue whatsoever or the Oldham, Manchester and Bury ones??? but a couple from Ramsbottom knew what they were along with the Westhougtonites and Leythers
Blackburn ones just said I was weird

I must confess here, I suppose, that my older brother, mother and her entire side of the family are all from Wigan. There - I've said it.

Do you know, Something rang a bell that you'd said a while ago that your Mother was from Wigan, but i wasnt sure that I'd just made it up

Has plenty to answer for does Billinge Hospital

[Prufrock]

My uncle is from Coppull, where they take it in turns being the village idiot, but is v much not a Wiganner. Must be a Lancashire thing that doesn't stretch to the Southeners in Greater Manchester

[LeverEnd]

And saying 'pup-pull' instead of purple.

I've never heard of that pudding thing either. I think it's to do with Great Lever and Hale barnes being similarly posh.

I never know whether to put chat about restaurants in here or in the 'What Are You Eating?' thread. Maybe we should have a dedicated restaurant thread?! Anyway, as has previously been mentioned somewhere in this section of the forum, Rammy has, these days, morphed into this microcosm of fantastic eateries. It even has a little brewery and is home to a Chocolate Cafe (brill, and very original for when the gift of chocolate is called for). Anyway, last night a bunch of us headed to a tiny Thai restaurant on Square Street (via cocktails in The Lounge. Aye) called Spring Garden. Absolutely superb. We were eight in number so we decided to go for a set menu, of which every single dish was superb. I really recommend this place to the forum. Book if you're going to go though. Like I say, it's tiny and very popular. We had to walk through a line of unbooked hopefuls just to get in. http://www.spicegardenramsbottom.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
