Native nosh is back

A restaurant chain is spearheading a campaign to bring traditional treats back into the kitchen. The Forgotten Native Nosh survey showed Londoners knew little about local dishes.

56% of those questioned didn't realise steak and kidney pudding originated locally, 70% couldn't place boiled beef and carrots and 77% were unaware where jellied eels came from.

To make matters worse, 14% deemed the humble Doner Kebab as traditional regional grub.

On a more positive note, 96% of Londoners questioned think traditional grub should be kept alive and 67% eat local produce where possible.

If Pease Pudding is but a distant memory you can now relive the good old days at Avenance restaurants. They'll be serving up favourites such as: Boiled Beef and Carrots, Lancashire Hotpot, Parkin, Huffkins, Lardy Cakes, Pease Pudding, Staffordshire Oatcakes, Welsh Rarebit, Bannock and Norfolk Dumplings.

Yummy....
