I'll start with one that most will never have heard of seeing as it seems to be extremely local to me (Rochdale)
Black peas - with loads of salt & vinegar, yum!
What you got?
Marag dubh
Isle Of Man = Kippers and Queenies 🙂
Scouse....
Manx kippers - yup!
stovies - tatties stewed in lard with corned beef and onions
smokies - smoked haddock
Leeds, best fish and chips in the UK.

Leeds, best fish and chips in the UK.
Yes, I can almost smell that Leeds sea breeze now 😉
not quite local to me but i had it recently - north ronaldsay mutton. on north ronaldsay, the sheep live on the cliffs and beaches and eat seaweed. interesting taste
Laverbread, bacon and cockles...for breakfast
bravohotel, I share your puzzlement, but honestly fish and chips in Leeds are better than on the east coast (scarbourough, whitby etc). I think its because they have a steady stream of customers throughout the year, lots of competition, and are only 1 hour from the coast so freshness isn't a problem.
Faves of mine are Coes in Crossgates and Skyliner. Though Bryans in headingley is lovely too.
A classic from Teesside... The Parmo, a filet of pork or chicken flattened until it's about the size of a large plate, coated in breadcrumbs, deep fried then topped with bechemel sauce & cheese and put in a pizza oven until the cheese is melted. Can be turned into a Hot Parmo by the addition of pepperoni and chillis.
Served with chips and garlic sauce. 😀
😀
Faggots and Peas - Black Country grub.
Muddydwarf, i've never come across black peas, but grey peas are pretty popular down here.
Not heard of grey peas, maybe they're the same thing?
Bakewell pie, well from Bakewell.
They have mushy peas & mint sauce in Nottingham
Staffordshire Oatcakes.
Always detour off the M6 on the way back from Scotland or The Lakes and buy a shelf full for the freezer 🙂
Stotties back home in Newcastle.
It probably something from Waitrose where we live in Surrey 😆
yorkshire puddings...........but i wish i was from bury....

Butter pies!
Like meat and potato, but with onions and butter and herbs instead of the meat. Nommy.
Came from some religious twaddle about not eating meat on Fridays or some such. Wholly Lancashire grub, never seen them anywhere else.
cadburys chocolate.....what? you've all got that?? well i never!
Like grahamh above I love Bakewell pudding. In fact all pudding.
Morton's Rolls. Proper, crispy and slightly burned on the outside, chewy on the inside morning rolls that you get in Glasgow.
Pisses all over the floury bap, the cotton-wool-and-sawdust abomination that you get dahn sarf.
MMM black pudding...
Also, Eccles & Chorley Cakes. Proper parkin made with black treacle not that effeminate golden syrup they use in Yorkshire! 😛

kelham island beer
abbeydale beer
bradfield beer
hmmm, sheffield.
(and yorkshire crisps, and hendersons relish)
Melton Mowbray pork pies
tideswell pudding
Fruit cake and cheese - popular in Yorkshire and the reason christmas was invented.
pease pudding
Curd pie, which I'd assumed was available everywhere, until recently in the cafe at Hope and it was labelled 'Yorkshire Curd Pie'.
+1 Fruit cake, butter and cheese, definately a northern delicacy.
I live in That London's famous London, and therefore have access to a far greater range of delicacies than are avalilable anywhere else in Britain! 🙂
The quality of regional delicacies really depends on the place selling it, rather than the region itself. I'm sure Leeds has plenty of shite chippies. As for freshness; nowhere in Britain is more than 70 miles from the sea or something like that.
I dined last night on the finest kebabs available in the UK. In Dalston, Hackney. 😀
I used to work in Rossendale, some of their "delicacies" include:
Hollands Pies*
Pie* in soup
Pie* in a barm
seriously, a meat & potato pie made by Hollands* and served in either a bowl of soup - usually tomato - or a barmcake**
** bread roll to everybody else
meanwhile, Mrs_drummer is from Whitley Bay, some of their delicacies include ham stottie with pease pudding (as above) and something called "pan haggelty" (I may be wrong but I think it's a kind of bubble & squeak with corned beef)
Pease pudding
Pan hagerty / Panackelty
wow, spooky
Scotch pies. Mmmm
BTW I'm starving now - thanks very much 👿
Albert Hirst's pork pie,in a bowl of mushy peas,with salt and vinegar,no poncy mint sauce on Barnsley market.

Another scouse favourite, the wet nelly.

preferably from Al Faisal or This 'n' That in 'that Manchester's' Northern Quarter. Can't get the sheep's brain with it any more (damn you scrapie!) but still the Sunday morning meal of choice anyone of ****stani origin and hungover Mancunians the world over.
Recipe: Get a sheep. Chase it around a bit until it's completely shagged out. Shave it. Wipe it's arse and shove it in a huge clay pot on a Friday night, with some onions and all the spices you can muster. Cook 'till Sunday morning. Separate the meat, gravy, bone marrow and brains into separate containers. Serve a bit of each with a nice nan bread and a glass of lassi. Go back to bed with the papers, The Archers and the love of your life 'till Moto GP starts.
Panhaggarty/Scouse/Hotpot = take whatever your mam had left at the end of the week. It if wasn't green to start with, cut the green bits off and chuck it in a pan. If it was green to start with, cut the brown bits off and chuck that in as well. Add some spuds and water. Add barley if you've got it. If you've got any other veg, add that. Boil the shit out of it until semi-solid. Serve with love and beetroot.
Cumberland sausage - preferably from Richard Woodall's in Waberthwaite. MMMMMMmmmmmmmmm.....

You live on Lewis druidh? That's where the best stuff comes from. 🙂
Theres not much I miss about London, but I'd be a happy man if I could get a Jamaican patty once in a while.
Aberdeen butteries/rowies/rolls (Whatever you choose to call them).
Aitkens make the only decent ones now as far as I can tell (crispy and greasy on the outside and nice and chewy inside).
Yum.
No Scots going to mention lorne sausage and dumpling?
Stotties are what I miss most being away from Newcastle. As for fish and chips in Leeds - fresh is when the chippy is on the fish quay, not an hour away!
Selkirk Bannock
From places I have lived,
Lardy cake from the west country
Baltis from Brum
Stotties from Newcastle
Agouti (bush rat) from W Africa
Stovies from Aberdeenshire
Aussie meat pies
We have something called Crunchy Nut Cornflakes at our house.
Apparently, Kellogs don't make them for anybody else.
