What does "fittle" mean in British dialectal slang?
The structure is a simple noun of uncertain origin, possibly from the verb "to fiddle" (to mess about) or from old dialectal English for food. It is used in British English, particularly in the East Midlands (especially Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and parts of Yorkshire), to refer generally to something to eat or a meal. People typically say "I'm off to get some fittle" or "What's for fittle tonight?"
Examples
I 'm starving, pass me some fittle.
