"Spice It Up" - Crawdaddies, 1997
Since moving to North Oxfordshire almost 6 year ago, I have learned about Banbury cakes, named for the largest community in this area. I still haven't had one, but I'll bet they are delicious. They are famous enough that one of Banbury's local newspapers is named the "Banbury Cake", after the pastries.Yesterday, John and I actually got up early enough on a Saturday morning to go to our own village's once-a-month farmers' market. And walking home, I spotted an interesting poster on the community bulletin board.
Here's a photo of what we saw...
Banbury salsa, huh? Glad to see that Banbury's food offerings are getting a bit spicier in the new year!

Yes they are delicious, you need to try them!
Looks like an Eccles Cake to me. Perhaps its just that North/South thing again.
They look delish.
Mmmm eccles cakes! (drool)
Apparently, the difference between Eccles cakes and Banbury cakes are the shape more than the ingredients. Banbury cakes aren't round....or so "they" say!
Sorry to tempt all of you US-based Brits with a photo of something so good! They really are delish, Wendy!
