Have some hot "Pork Pie & Mushy Peas".
Only have had it in Yaaarkshire, but it's excellent...

Must have mint sauce for some unaccountable reason.

A Yorkshireman went to a goldsmith and asked if he could make a gold statue to commemorate his dead whippet

"Of course" said the goldsmith, "do you want it 18 carat?"

"Nay lad" the Yorkshireman, "chewin a bone will be fine".

Ginnell is Lancashire, gennell is yorkie. Or so I was very rudely informed by an old tyke in Leeds many years ago.

Obviously, the bloke being a yorkie, he made sure that he educated me on this at some length.

There are some friendly folk in Yorkshire, but you don't want to be getting the kiss of life off one...

I think one will find that terms vary between each of the counties that make up Yorkshire. The colloquial terms in Leeds are different to Sheffield which in turn in nothing like York and dont even get started with Hull (they cant even decide if its Humberside or East Yorkshire).

Based upon my study of the inhabitants, since moving here many years ago, the demarcation between Gennell and Ginnell seems to be slightly to the south of Barnsley, Gennell being Rotherham and Sheffield. Barnsley up to and including Leeds is Ginnell also over to CleckHuddersFax. York area and beyond you get both Ginnell and Snicket.

So it depends which part of Yorkshire your hairy palmed friend originated.
