I believe they are only available commercially at Gunn’s bakery in Sandy/Bedford/Biggleswade but there are loads of recipes on the web if you Google

I tried stargazey pie in mousehole but wasn't that impressed and didn't clear my plate but I'm a great believer in trying regional goods when I'm away.

Sometimes successfully other times not !

Yep! Stilton can only be called that if it’s produced in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire or Derbyshire. I believe that there are only a handful of dairies licensed to make it and they are mainly in the vale of belvoir

I am probably going to start a war, or at least a minor skirmish and be blocked by the whole of the south west, but I have never got this. Surely tastes the same whichever way you add the cream and jam, or jam and cream??

It's the sauce that makes it to be honest. Without chippy sauce it's just sub standard fish and chips.

The jam has to be on first so you can spread it evenly otherwise you just have a blob of jam on top of the cream.

But surely it is better to eat each half separately to get double the quantity of jam and cream
