What is "Bedfordshire clanger"?
The Bedfordshire clanger is a traditional savory pastry dish that originated in the county of Bedfordshire, England, in the early 19th century. It consists of a long, tube-shaped pastry that is filled with two different types of filling, one savory and one sweet, separated by a line of suet or butter. The savory filling is usually meat-based, such as minced beef or pork, mixed with vegetables and spices, while the sweet filling is often made from jam or fruit. The pastry is then baked until golden brown and crispy. Bedfordshire clangers were originally popular among farmworkers and were often carried in their pockets as a convenient and satisfying meal. Today, they are still a popular regional dish and are enjoyed as a hearty and flavorful snack or meal.
