Lancashire Mix?

shillelagh · 18-08-2007, 00:10

I was in the sweetie shop today - treating myself and was having a look at what they had and they had Yorkshire Mix sitting up on the shelf. I hadnt had any of that for ages so thought for a change instead of sarsparillas or coltsfoot rock i'd have that. Anyway the question is - Is there a Lancashire Mix like the Yorkshire Mix? Ive never seen one.

I don't know of one and I was born and brought up round here. Maybe somebody else will have heard of it.

Whats in my quarter of yorkshire mix is pear drops, rhubarb and custard, lime drops, aniseed drops, fruit rock, and some others that i dont know the name of!!

What, no Yorkshire pudding?

What a poor do.

I'd have expected it to consist of misshapen Pontefract cakes. All the stuff you mentioned isn't even peculiar to Yorkshire.

I'm sure I saw a lancashire mix in an old fashioned sweet shop in Canterbury......it had mint balls, brandy balls,Kendal mint cake some green and yellow spirals shaped sweet.scented satins and some other sweets I could only guess at....since I didn't buy any. Like mick says maybe they were just concocted from the leavings of several different jars, and named to get shut of them.

I went in and bought some chocolate coated chewing nuts, Toasted teacakes, and buttered brazils.......and came out 3 pounds lighter in the purse area ( 2lbs heavier in the hip area - and that was just thinking about eating them)
