Puffin4 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yes, I was into scraps. We always knew black pudding as black dag. Potted meat (not seen it since I left Sheffield) was known as potted dog. Sliced potatoes dipped in batter and fried were scallops. Rice pudding was Chinese wedding cake. There was a pub built into the old Corn Exchange before it was demolished, known as T' Manche, I think it was really called The Norfolk Arms or something like that. It was frequented by workers from the fruit and veg market. At school, Nether Edge Grammar we played a playground game known to us as "Finger, Thumb and Rusty Bum" a sort of an adaptation of leap frog.
