Stoke-on-Trent in the heart of England is known for its unique local dish, the Staffordshire Oatcake. Resembling a pancake, it is made from oatmeal, flour and yeast and typically served warm with fillings such as bacon, cheese and sausage. The city is also known for traditional British dishes like fish & chips and steak & ale pie. Those with a sweet tooth should definitely try the popular dessert Bakewell Tart, which consists of a shortcrust pastry with a layer of jam and a sponge cake with ground almonds.
