Yorkshire Oatcakes? (Imagine that said in the tone of Peter Kay when he says "Garlic bread?")
I've never heard of such a thing! There are Staffordshire oatcakes, which are lush (I had some for second breakfast in fact!). And there are breadcakes in Yorkshire - buns or barms to everyone else. But I've never heard of a Yorskhire Oatcake? Maybe this is some sinister secret foodstuff not available to 'foreigners' like me. I shall have to ask davem the professional Tyke....
