Stotties, pease pudding and singing hinnies are some of the cornerstones of North East culinary traditions and will make an appearance at a new exhibition on food from our region - specifically South Tyneside.
An exhibition entitled SCRAN: Food & Drink in South Tyneside at the South Shields Museum and Art Gallery celebrates the traditional cuisine of the North East and aims to chart the story of food and drink across the borough from Roman times up to the present day.
The stories of some of the area's most notable eateries will be on display, with South Shields home to Colmans fish and chips, Michella & Co ice cream, and Dicksons pork butchers. The exhibition will also feature local pubs and breweries of yesteryear; cafes, restaurants and work canteens; wartime food rationing; and the emergence in recent years of foodbanks to help combat food poverty and holiday hunger.
