The Borough Life says Lobby was a dish made from Sunday leftovers (page 4 Spring Issue 29)

Am I the only person on this forum who has never had lobby? I get the impresion I am missing out!

You deffo are recipe varies on here though, but real Lobby has no peas or carrots remember that.

rubbish.

your right with peas and carrots it is rubbish thats crustless hotpot.

Yes.

No peas it's lobby. So Ner.

Scouse is better than Hotpot

this thread reminded me of a young Wiganer that played for my local amatuer open age team in Warrington some years ago,

he only trained with us at first as he was too young to play, he was about 15 but he had an accent broader than vannessa Feltz' backside, it was like listening to a 60 year old pensioner talk.

One day we ribbed him about being a pie eater after he went on about various Pies, pasties and savouries,
then someone asked him "whats a Lobby" his reply in his pensioner style broad wigan twang was
"Aye thats just a Pie Bar 't crust"

the place errupted and he was know as Bart Crust forever more,

was he actually correct though ?

yes he was (a meat and potato), we in Leigh perfected using knives and forks where as our Cousins t'ther side of Bickershaw have still to do so.

Don't tend to get carrots in pies though.

or in lobby

Surely, all Leythers use a big spoon fer eatin' Lobby







While we're on abawt it, does anybody else come wom fr' pub, dip int' lobby pon and purrit on a slice o' dry bread ?

Heaven

Always put Marge on mine, don't like dry bread

Med slice of bread and marg 1.5 points. Weight Watchers.

I bet Marge is getting a bit fed up.

I slap it (on) first

Me to Fred, but about 3 or 4 slices.

Just about to warm some lobby up for a late tea

Yummmmmmmmm

Don't be greedy Gaz save all of us some.

burasitgettencarotsinit?

no carrots, Fred. No carrots.

Slice of BUTTERED bread for lobby butties and general bowl-wiping duties. Delicious, AND saves on washing up.

My grandma (who left school at ten and worked at Tunnicliffes Mill before setting up a hairdressers in their front room on Findlay Street) used to butter the loaf then slice the buttered piece off. Genius, IMHO.

Mince, carrots and stock. You don't know what your missing.

With that concoction, yes we do... LOBBY!!!

hot pot

as for BUTTERED bread no we never had it at home not rich enough.
