This dish has been warming Manc bellies since the Industrial Revolution; it is a simple stew of cheap cuts of lamb or beef, slow-cooked with onions and root veg, then topped with sliced potatoes; a Lancashire classic that Manchester locals have always claimed as their own — best enjoyed on a cold or wet day.
Also known as a pastie barm cake or a pastie flour cake, this is a fast food dish native to the North West area of England; it consists of a buttered barm cake with a standard meat and potato pasty as the filling; the snack was supposedly invented by Bolton schoolboys in the 1950s as a “cheap dinner”.
Classic, cheeky, and impossible not to love — that's the Manchester Tart; its roots go back to Victorian times, when the city's working-class families needed affordable treats; layers of short-crust pastry, raspberry jam, custard, and a sprinkle of coconut (sometimes topped with a cherry) make this a delicious dessert.
