Lardy cake ,though i havn,t seen it in the north east ,and bread pudding from my grandads recipe ,it beats the shopbought by miles . The only other i like is the fruit cake with the almonds on top ,but i like the moist variety.Fred.ptfg.

Have often wondered why it is called 'lardy' cake?, what's a true bath-bun, and what is a 'balm' cake, (as referred to by Vera Duckworth?). Then there's chorley cakes and eccles cakes, are they the same thing?..
