A fishcake is a breaded potato and fish mash patty.Anything else is a local affectation. Like your northern bread products.
Got to agree with Stoner here folks, I'm afraid to say. There's a number of products which exist only in the North; things which are attempts to brighten up the otherwise wretched, miserable lives of those living in despair and with very little sunlight. The 'Yorkshire Fishcake' is just one such example, as indeed is the World-renowned Yorkshire Pudding.
Trouble with Northerners, is they can't even agree on what is 'correct' between themselves. I think they just like arguing tbh. Helps pass the time on those long, dark* Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn nights.
*Dark as in depressing, sorrowful and without any glimmer of hope.
Northern men tend to suffer from anxieties and paranoia surrounding their masculinity, hence the need to try to demean people from other areas by calling them 'soft' and 'jessies' and stuff ljke that. An affliction that seems to become more manifest the further north you go, to the extent that some Scottish men will want to fight any other male, lest their manhood fall off altogether. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that Northern women tend to prefer the more affluent, erudite and sophisticated Southern gentleman, who understands foreplay as something other than getting too drunk to stand or even speak, and who is actually more likely to sire offspring which aren't possessed of webbed hands and feet.
What is this foreplay that you talk of?
Oh dear, are you Northern? 🙁
Then you may well be unaware of such joy....
