A Conversation for Lincolnshire Food
Plum Bread
Wand'rin star Started conversation Dec 14, 2012
The best Lincolnshire plum bread, bar none, is made by Angie Hall of the Tea Cosy Cafe in Caistor. She uses her mother's recipe which she refuses to divulge, but I know it includes a tot of brandy. She makes small batches and a slice with butter and cheese is very good value at 70p.
Thanks Galaxy for what will be a useful shopping list on further trips to Ireland.

What a fun read this is 
Say, how did the name "dambuster" for a cheese come about?

joke)

Many, if not most, bomber squadrons were based in Lincolnshire during the second world war. The Dambusters were mostly based at RAF Scampton near where the cheese is made .

there's a rather nice beer called Bomber County as well.
