Does anybody remember eating fatcake.

Never seen any for yonks!

Happy Days!

I remember PopT. In the 50s and 60s, whenever my mum baked, she'd make us some. Lovely with a bit of fresh butter on it.

Gone all nostalgic now :cry:

I remember it as well PopT in the 50's , and as saxon51 says it was lovely with a bit of "best butter " on it as my mum used to call it .

What we used to call 'Fat Cakes' was the dough left over after my mother had made a meat & potato pie. Patted into a round shape and baked at the same time as the pie

That's how I remember it too.

just come back from bridlington recently & funnily enough walked into a bakers shop to get the kids something to eat when i noticed on the shelf behind the counter packets of (fatballs),i asked what the hell are those & the bloke replied pastry apparently they've been around for years but it's the first time i ever seen owt like them in my life.

Fatcakes, or the name at least will probably be a thing of the past thanks to some European union law that prohibits the use of the word "Fat" in a foodstuff.

Probably known as 'obese cakes' now.:rolleyes:

My Mum's fatcakes were usually studded with currants (which I used to pick out- hated 'em) Maybe we could call them chubby-cakes now?
