I had my first one in Blackpool about 15 years ago, never heard of it until then.
This lad struggled to find one in Manchester so they aren't exactly common.

Someone's on a fake nostalgia trip. Jam and custard pie. School dinner stuff.
Never mind Mancunian, if you didn't have it as a kid, you're probably not even a Lancastrian.
Dead easy to make at home, overpriced in shops.

I’ve got to say that at my school in Ramsbottom the Manchester tart seemed to be just jam and custard tart with a sprinkling of coconut. I never understood why a bit of coconut changed its name tbh and why the link to Manchester?
I always preferred it without coconut myself so have never hankered for a Manchester tart, especially one with loads of pastry around it. Now, if someone could make me a jam and custard tart like they did at school I’d go for that!

Definitely. Proper school dinner in the days when every pudding had coconut flakes sprinkled all over it.
Another one for the FOC thread!

It's another one of those 'old, traditional' Northern things that were 'discovered' and revived when the faux Mancunians and 'professional Northener' hipsters moved into Manchester.
They probably charge about £10 for a tart in Didsbury coffee shops.

That's proper grub with lots of custard... a much more substantial pudding than the jam and custard pie.
