If you can't beat em, join em!

I like to think of myself as a healthy eating person, but recently I've been embracing my love of food and local delights and eating habits.

Since moving to the great north, my appetite has definitely increased, in part to a partner who never stops eating, and with it my desire to eat fatty foods! Oooh, on that note, I think I'm going to make cake soon!

Anyway, T and I (T is the other half) went on an impromptu day trip to that great Northern institute, Blackpool! We screamed and laughed at the Pleasure Beach. Lost 8 quid on a completely impossible hoop-la. Bought all manner of flavoured rock (that incidentally does not taste any different to that of a normal sickly sweet stick of rock), oh almost forgot, T bought a rather disgusting looking "fried breakfast" of rock - again sweet and minty smelling!

But, the highlight of this clash of North meets my very much South was the Fish and Chips before coming home...a must in my book!

T and I have been together for nearly 3 years and I mock his Northern habits at times, but on this day of embrace, I selected Steak & Kidney Pudding and chips. T had Cheese & Onion pie and chips...with plenty of tar-thick gravy (I still cant bring myself to cover my chips in it!!!) For those in the South, Cheese and Onion Pie (not Pasty) is another BIG thing in these parts!

What a treat, I left feeling warm and cosy, if a little bloated. You have to love the North, even if its for Blackpool and perfect chips & pie/pudding. YUM!
