I was thinking fadge was something else, not something to eat. Well you could and it is but not from a bakery.
Eh? I've never heard Fadge in relation to bread or bread cakes. When I was at school in Hull it was slang for fanny.
Type 'mafting' into Google, first thing that comes up is 'mafting', second is 'mafting Hull'. It's certainly not exclusive to Hull, but it's certainly associated with Hull, it always makes those daft 'Hull speak' lists. I regularly used to get a fadge down Prinny Ave after Welly, I don't remember it being slang for fangita until a fair bit later. Which is a shame, as we could have scored double fadge.
I'd rather have Old English Gentleman, Oberon and Oriental for O. Rather than OPE. Cant stand the place, shoulda knocked it all down.
But that is Geraghty's fiefdom. They idolise him there. He would tell you all you need for O is Old Faithful
I've just Googled it. Lots of explanations of the meaning and how it is a northern word. No mention of Hull or any association. What was the name of the bakery on Princes Avenue? Completely slipped my mind.
Arnetts, apparently it was open every Friday night from 1974 to 1984 and served Ham, bacon or cheese fadges.
Yes. Lived round there from 1975 to 1983. Started going down on recommendation of next door neighbour. Excellent snack after a night in Botanic. Though the 10.30 closing of Botanic was too early in those less civilised times. Princes Avenue was virtually deserted on an evening in those days,. I seem to recall getting beef fadges but those tended to go the quickest so had ham or bacon on occasion.
I thought there was beef as well, but according to the HDM there was only ham, cheese or bacon. So there was probably beef...
Wrong? I would trust my recollections over the HDM any day. And OLM'S. In fact I would trust Patty's recollections over the HDM.
