Steak and kidney pudding, Lancashire style.
Tea cakes, you just can't seem to get a northern-style fruit tea cake down south.

Barmcakes - if you can have one with a meat and potato pastie inside, all the better.
Gravy from the chippy. Well, any gravy actually.

You get the normal biscuity ones, but I worked with an electrician from Staffs who use to bring in ones that were a bit like thick pancakes. Very nice with a fried breakfast.

Yep, don't see that down here, which is why I make my own or my mum sends me back with some when I go to visit.

That's strange, as I never came across cheesy chips until I moved down south. Chips with gravy was my preferred choice!

No, any old chippy. The canteen at my (northern) uni did chips and gravy, which was a staple part of my diet!
