I would like to point out, on behalf of cork people, that Battenburg in Cork is not the pink and yellow thing, but a triangular (prism-al?) cake with chocolate covering and checkered chocolate and plain sponge inside.

Lamb liver for breakfast......used to regularly have it for breakfast as a kid.......none of my crew would touch liver / offal...... they don't know what they're missing

Was someone asked to make a cake that looked like toberlone chunks?
I wouldn't have picked Sauvignon Blanc as the wine pairing tbh

My uncle delivers bread and cakes and once passed us at the beach and handed one of those
out of the van between about eight of us. We hadn't any knife or plate so just broke chunks off and ate them. Not standard beach/picnic food but we still talk about it!

Mam used to buy us those sparkles icepops on the way home from the beach too, but if you were on your own she'd splash out on a loop the loop. I feel like I spent most of my childhood on the beach, most of my food memories are there!

I always wondered why my memories of Battenburg was different to many others!

I had a childminder throughout my primary school years and I’ll never forget how comforting her dinners were, she cooked the most delicious shepherds pie, I always try to make it the way she did and it takes me right back to sitting at her kitchen table aged 10 every single time!

Also the stew she used to cook, thick, mushy beef stew, again, I managed to start making it the way she used to and it takes me right back!

Even when I use Chef ketchup instead of Heinz or Aldi local brand, transports me back in time :V

I mean, we're mad for specific cakes with names that overlap with non-Cork cakes. Like "layer cake", it's not a generic cake with layers but specfically a large madeira with one layer of choclate butter cream and one layer of vanilla buttercream. Almost always comes out at Christmas.
