Anyone that butters their Oatcake needs to sort their life out. But is he having butter to make the oatcake nicer or is he seeing it as having an oatcake to make his butter nicer?

Butter, onion or beans. Not for me.
But that curry idea has got me thinking :-)

They've caught on a bit down here, they have them in London supermarkets and they always sell out in neals yard dairy near Covent Garden, I heard people in there discussing what to do with them, made me cringe/feel homesick

I was at the Haywood Hospital the other week and went the oatcake shop opposite the hospital on Haywood Road, better than the High Lane shop in my opinion.

Let's be honest, if your standard isn't bacon and cheese, or at the very least just cheese, you're doing life wrong.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the oatcake love in ? Had 2 in the last year and that was when we had them at work Christ, I'd keep quiet about that. You'll cause more fury on here than those buggers who leave the game early!

Anyone that butters their Oatcake needs to sort their life out. Oh dear - always been my favourite, lashings of butter (Adam's Best ). Not healthy but what a treat - and as my father-in-law told me troops in the war used to say when reminiscing about oatcakes "oways kayp one fer waypin thee chops after" I used to buy an oatcake at the oatcake shop in Heron Cross when I got off the bus from school in the 50's. Butter was a halfpenny extra. Sometimes I would get a "smack" fried in dripping before I got on the bus and an oatcake when I got off. Thank god for statins !!!!

Glad to here you call the smack a smack and not a scallop, my Grandma always made a great smack I think Granddads batter was the key salt, vinegar water and flour that's all but very light and tasty

A "smack" sandwich- another treat !! Butter again 😮 It was rationed until 1954 but we made up for it after that.
Smacks were my Gran's speciality as well - along with Savoury Ducks (with bread and butter , of course).

Had a pair from the stadium v hull cheese/bacon lovely. Can't believe they haven't caught on in the south. Not just the south, up north too or anywhere else for that matter outside of our North Staffordshire/South Cheshire area. I've wondered it for years. They're so well liked and anyone from outside the area who I've made to try one with bacon and cheese or just cheese have always loved them. So why haven't they spread nationally like other regional delicacies such as Cornish pasties etc? It's not like they're an acquired taste like jellied eels and stuff like that they're a pretty mainstream flavour and go with just about anything from the traditional cooked breakfast.

good man !!! strangley enough, I like them with tinned tomatoes on (on the odd occasion Ive had them) Dipping your filled Oatcake into piping hot tinned Tomatoes, Heaven. Tinned tomato and sausage oatcakes. Nothing comes close.

Remember my first oatcake. Used to go swimming at Longton High as a kid with my dad on Sunday mornings and walk home via the oatcake place in Box Lane, Meir. It wasn't a shop as such, more like a bloke cooking them in his garage. This was back in the 70's so my memory may be a little foggy, but happy days.

They're rumoured to have been derived from chapati's and brought back from India by the men of the Staffordshire Regiment in the days of the raj.Then they adapted them to English taste with oatmeal flour. The bacon,cheese and tinned tomato thing is all ours 😉 I have heard that rumour but I've read that the oatcake pre-dates the days of the raj, apparently they've been around since the 17th century in the North Staffs area. I think the Ethiopian Injera looks a closer 'fit' actually, can't imagine how a connection between that and the oatcake would come about tho'? teffco.com/traditional-injera/I went to a few Ethiopian restaurants when Imlived in LA (there's a Little Ethiopia) and had injera then. They are really tasty (sourdough based), but nothing like an oatcake. I've never buttered my oatcakes, but I don't see a problem with it. I might try it next time actually...

Always a cause for celebration when I find them stocked in the local Morrisons up here - I clear the shelves of about 10 packets. Cashier looks at me like I'm from another planet!
