Grill oatcake for a while both sides, so it is quite crispy. While still warm, slap on some butter, followed by loads of strawberry jam, roll it up (bit difficult cos it's a bit crispy), then scoff it!! Fantastic!!! And I'm not kidding......try it! That's exactly what we always had, one of the usual snacks, delicious, as well as all the chayze n bacon malarkey. Always thought it's what everybody did. Savoury or sweet, oatcakes are versatile. Some of the comments higher up about butter have surprised me! ... I may have to change my wworld view now!

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. I think it's probably due to the shelf life of the fresh ones being pretty rubbish which somewhat limits exports. For some years the prepacked "Staffordshire Oatcakes" were available in larger Sainsburys around the country but as we all know, they have more in common with my Grandmas collection of 78s than something a human should consume.

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... Thanks for that, never tried one but thought the appearance was very similar, must hunt down an Ethiopian restaurant and give em a go. I love a buttered oatcake used like a naan bread with curry but it seems I'm in a minority

Anyone that butters their Oatcake needs to sort their life out. Or eat them with a curry... This sounds good. I may try this.

Crouchy is a top professional and ambassador, I am proud that he has been at our club for longer and scored more goals for us than any other Premier team. He is a PR dream and while we won't see him feature in envy game, he can still turn it on. Well done Pete!
