Throdkin is a traditional breakfast food of the Fylde, Lancashire, England. There are different preparations but all are made from oatmeal and bacon fat. [1]
One recipe calls for a pound of oatmeal mixed with some bacon fat to create a dough the consistency of pastry. The dough is then shaped into a brick shape and baked, often with a strip of bacon on top. [1] Another version consists of a dough of oatmeal and water pressed into a pie plate, topped with pieces of fat bacon, and baked. It was cut into wedges tart-style for serving[ citation needed]
The throdkin could also be baked and then fried in bacon fat. [1]
There is a sweet variety from Blackpool which incorporates currants. [1]
It is listed, with an earliest instance in 1837, by Joseph Wright in his 1905 The English Dialect Dictionary. [2]
