Bacon pudding is also excellent, as made by my mum.

Just looked it up - that sounds pretty damn fine. Found Sussex Churdle at the same time which I'm now going to make one day soon also.

Mum also used to make the pudding with rabbit instead of bacon. I can also heartily recommend drip pudding when roasting lamb. I mean what is not to like about a suet pudding roasted in dripping?!

Sounds like someone has used Google Translate.

It is and it's always made Mrs W, who's from Surrey you know darling, laugh. She says the word alley is the proper one. I've told her time and time again that asking to 'go up her twitten' is far more respectful and romantic.

Why do we have to share our day with “Fathers Day”?

It also happens to be my sister’s birthday.

Anyway, I shall be celebrating with afternoon tea out with my wife and kids (and my sister).

It’s also the first day of the season for coarse fish on rivers...

Something I was wondering yesterday - are there any decent modern folk songs about Sussex?

This weekend I've been at the "Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival" down here in Cornwall. It's basically a pub crawl, with dozens of groups singing, and Fishermens Friends probably aren't in my top five. Plenty of traditional shanties, and not all about drunken sailors. But there's also a rich seam of modern songs about Cornwall and the local pride in the heritage and culture, even comparing the granite cliffs to our chalk ones.

I couldn't think of anything similar, even of any Sussex shanties. The brilliant Wellington Wailers (with their Martlets flag) are here again from Shoreham, so I shall try to ask them today.

Any ideas?

The historic county is known for its "seven good things of Sussex".These seven things are Pulborough eel, Selsey cockle, Chichester lobster, Rye herring, Arundel mullet, Amberley trout and Bourne wheatear. Sussex is also known for Ashdown Partridge Pudding, Chiddingly Hot pot, Sussex Bacon Pudding, Sussex Hogs' Pudding, Huffed Chicken, Sussex Churdles, Sussex Shepherds Pie, Sussex Pond Pudding, Sussex Blanket Pudding, Sussex Well Pudding, and Chichester Pudding. Sussex is particularly known for puddings: such was the reputation of Sussex that it was said that "to venture into the county was to risk being turned into a pudding yourself".In one version of the Sussex folk tale, the knucker dragon at Lyminster was slayed after being fed a poisoned Sussex pudding.

That's from Wikipedia. Don't think I've ever eaten a single one of those things!

At school we regularly had Sussex Pond for pudding, I loved it.

It's a shame these things have all but died out.

You'd have thought an enterprising chef would have latched onto the idea of a truly local menu. I'd certainly go to a place offering traditional Sussex dishes.

Sussex, by the sea
Correct, My last house, swan cottage, built in 1720, was on the corner of a twitten betwixt church street and middle street in Shoreham-by-sea. Lovely place, just a bit small!
