In Scarborough, the Pancake Bell tolls at noon on Shrove Tuesday as the townsfolk feast on warm and delicious pancakes; at Mudeford in Hampshire, the vicar puts out to sea to bless the fishermen and increase their catches; and blackberries should never be picked after the Michaelmas Day Goose Fair at Tavistock, Devon, as the Devil will have spat on them to spite his rivals. This book combines recipes and foods used to celebrate English festivals, with the architectural and historical background to each individual feast day. The result is a blend of tradition, local colour and rich natural produce.
