My gran used to make something called an apple dobbler. It would consist of a cored apple encased in pastry. We then had it with condensed milk. There's nothing on the net about this but there is a cobbler which seems different.
Anyone heard of this or any specific Suffolk recipes? |  |

Similarly my nanna would make a roast and we would have the batter pudding with gravy as a first course before having thre meat and veg.
That gravy sodden batter pudding was lovely. |
Not meat and two veg, three meat and veg ! Was she Kenyan or Argentine ? |  |

I've not seen Dab or Flounder on the menu anywhere other than the Suffolk coast.
Childhood summer holidays featured walking down from Southwold to the harbour to buy them fresh from "Willie's Plaice". |  |

Given that Suffolk bequeathed the mighty Suffolk ram to father most of the western world’s lamb and the Suffolk Redpoll gavé posh people plenty of beef off cuts for their servants to make something of, genuine savoury Suffolk recipes are thin on the ground. Puds and cakes- there are several. One that even made it on to our school dinner list as a pudding was Harvest Cake
The only genuine Suffolk savoury recipe i can think of is bloater paste. First take your bloater and boil it. Then mash up all the meat with a fork, leaving just enough bones to be irritating and a danger to health, Take a slice of sunblest white, toast and spread sparsely with stork margarine, Then spread on your bloater paste….hold nose - and feed to the cat |  |

Gav - I remember a similar thing to your apple in pastry when I was young although ours was served with custard usually. It was very filling and with hindsight probably an excuse for a smaller main course " To leave enough room to enjoy your pudding" The below recipe seems to be similar although the pastry case was not as good looking!

My wife (who's from the North East) says it was standard when she was growing up (in the 70s/80s) that on Sundays they would always have a large Yorkshire each for starter - which would be OK if like you it was served with gravy and onions - except it was common (maybe still is) in the North East to serve it with lemon juice and sugar.
I guess Yorkshire Pudding and Pancakes are similar and it would be quite normal to have pancakes with lemon and sugar on Shrove Tuesday - but every week as a starter before Sunday Roast just seems weird!! To compound the weirdness they would then have small Yorkshires served with the roast dinner as well. |
It's surely to save money, try and fill everyone up with cheaper food so they don't eat too much meat - that was how Sunday roasts were at my Nans, the beef was cut so thin as well to ensure enough left for them to have it for their lunch all week |  |

Same rationale for having a bread and butter side plate no matter the meal, another grandparent staple! |  |

Yeah I remember the Apple dobbler - think it was a local Thorndon dish as my other Gran who lived across the Waveney in bandit country had never heard of it.
Not sure on the condensed milk bit as we always had it with custard or ice cream.
There was a variation on the theme which was a baked apple, basically just core a cooking apple, fill it with sultanas and bake it, skin and all.
The good old days! | | | |

Right so the Dobler wasn't a Suffolk dish but a Thorndon one! Interesting! | |
