hillsbro Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Lots of people seem to miss fishcakes. In Lincoln you can actually get them (and they're almost as good) but they call them fritters. They also have "fishcakes", but they are what Sheffield folk call rissoles. Funny lot in Lincoln... The best fishcakes were from Gordon Booth's chip shop in Taplin Road, with little bits of parsley in with the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary in NZ Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Toasted tea cakes, picklets by the fire, sledging in winter, pub crawls round Bakewell on market day starting at 6am. The Pheonix pub on white lane, weekly swims at pond street baths ............. oh childhood memories, but after leaving now for 22 years and only visiting once since ..... so I guess I don't miss anything that much ....mum stills sends out the HP fruity and the farleys rusks, sadly great fish and chips don't travel well .....but me kiwi wify does best she can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarionC Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I miss the hills, Hendersons (my sister sends me some for Christmas every year), good fish and chips, fish cakes and roe. The sound of the Sheffield accent. Days out in Derbyshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You state that you don't miss Sheffield yet you look at SF and take the time to post..... interesting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary in NZ Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Well Daven, when one lives so far away and you have a New Zealand wife and you are explaining what Sheffield was/is like what better way do you know of than the internet, so I stumbled across SF quite by chance. I have receive so great info from a gentleman in Sheffield, following one posting.... I am also looking via this medium to see whether I can expand my interbet based business in to England and Sheffield.... A way to increase our income by helping people preserve their precious memories on line forever gauranteed. But thanks for your posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
