In Lancashire, a slang for food is not directly mentioned, but some unique foods are referenced, such as black peas, also called parched peas or dapple peas, which are cooked purple-podded peas. They are a traditional Lancashire dish usually served with lashings of malt vinegar. Black pudding, a sausage incorporating blood, is typically eaten as a breakfast food. It is considered a particular delicacy in Lancashire. Chorley cakes are flattened, fruit filled pastry cakes.
