It would seem I've started a new thread ;-)

I was only three or four when the family moved to Lancashire, and only
seven when we moved to Canada, so I don't have "many fond memories" --
Only what I remember my Dad reading to me from Clock Almanack. The
wife and I went back for a week in 2008, but I don't imagine what we
saw was anything like what it was in the early 1940s. I do agree,
though that the country scenery was lovely (and the ales -- wow!)

Oh, I did all that before our trip. The trip 'though, was a
"go-back-once-more-before-I-croak" sort of thing, since I hadn't been
in England since I was seven years old, and likely won't again. It
served that purpose (the emotional one that is) and also was lots of
fun.

Too bad we can't get ales like that in Canada (Molson's Export Ale
-yuck!)

eeh, 'ats reet 'n ahm yer lad -- which pretty much exhausts my
Yorkshire dialect ;-).

One thing I tried to find and could not was Yorkshire stand pie. Lots
of Melton Mobrey, but no YSP, even in York. But the ales made up for
it.

Funny story (at least from the POV of a North American)...
We arrived in York at the B&B about 8 PM, not having eaten since
breakfast. The B&B wasn't going to open the kitchen just for us and
sent us round the corner to the local (a pub called "The Locomotive").
The proprieter (a lovely old Yorkshire lass) explained it was a bank
holiday and she hadn't stocked the kitchen, but she'd rummage through
the freezer and see what she could find. She returned a short while
later and said she had some frozen hamburgers and she could fry up
some chips. We accepted eagerly. A half hour later we were served
and it turned out she didn't know what a "hamburger" was. She'd
served us HAM burgers! <chuckle>

Anyway, we were so hungry a cardboard box would have tasted OK at that
point and the chips were very good and the local ale was even better.
All's well that ends well.

A pork pie that "Stands" upright (My Father's explanation from when I
asked as a lad). Looks like a Melton Mobrey, but a slightly different
mix of seasoning, and often a bit larger.
Wikipedia: "In some parts of Yorkshire, especially West Yorkshire (and
more so, Halifax), pork pies are called "stand pies". Melton Mobrey
uses uncured pork, Stand Pie uses cured pork.

In 2008!! That's why we were so astounded.

From Clock Almanack: "Fro' Hull, Hell, and Halifax, Good Lord preserve
us".
