A taste of Sussex

[Tricky Dicky]

I caught an episode of the hairy bikers doing Monmouthsire at the w/e. I know they did one on East Sussex, but for me, it didn't feature food I would have said typified our local fare. (they may have done West Sussex too, but I've not seen it)

I know we have Sussex pond pudding (although I don't believe I've even seen it on a menu), and I think we lay claim to the Steak and Kidney pudding, but what is YOUR taste of Sussex ?

Sussex Pond Pudding ... bloody marvelous

I think banoffee pie originated in Sussex too

Isn't Cheesy Chips supposed to be a Sussex thing?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Not just things that originated here, but what do you associate as being typical local food ?

Longs Sausages, anyone else remember them. Shop in Ship Street or somewhere. The most fabulous meaty and herby sausages I have ever ever had.

The Hairy Bikers summed Sussex up at the end. 'This place has everything' said in a broad Geordie twang.

I like them, they make cooking seem both enjoyable and achievable.

To be fair, they said that about everywhere they visited.

Apparently from The Hungry Monk in Jevington. Umm I'm craving for a bit of banoffee pie now. Yummy.

The assistant chef there, (or whatever it is that they are called) was a very good friend of mine, she (Claire) even wrote a number of cookery books, called something like "The Hungry Monk at Work".

Thought Romney Marsh was in Kent not Sussex.
