Stottie cake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Stottie cake or stotty is a type of bread produced in the North East of England. It is a thick, flat, round loaf (usually about 30 cm in diameter by 8 cm deep).
Stotties tend to be eaten split and filled. Common fillings include ham and pease pudding, but also bacon, egg and sausage. The heavy texture of the bread gives it its name (to 'stott' is Geordie dialect meaning 'to bounce'), and also makes it difficult for many people to eat one whole in one sitting.
Elsewhere in the world, bread similar to the Stottie is known as Oven Bottom Bread.
