Eccles cake
Eccles cake is a specialty of the eponymous city in the Greater Manchester region. The dish consists of a crispy puff pastry filled with cinnamon, raisins or currants, and brown sugar, the whole concoction glazed with honey to develop its characteristical golden color. These tasty treats were even outlawed in 1653 due to the Puritan belief that they were pagan. Today, Eccles cakes are fully legal, and it is recommended to pair them with a cup of tea or a bowl of hot porridge.
