London - Maltby Street Oatcakes

Regular readers of this blog will know that I've a great lover of local and traditional foods. I've a particular interest in gingerbread (see here for a map) and (my wife would say an obsession with) Staffordshire oatcakes (see here for a map).

I've always thought I could make a fortune if I was brave enough to give up my job and start an oatcake shop in somewhere like Euston station.  Until recently if you wanted a proper oatcake in London you needed to jump on a train to Staffordshire, although you can buy mass produced ones in places like Neal's Yard.  However I was delighted to see that in Maltby Street market you can now buy "Staffordshire" oatcakes made with oats from Jacob's Ladder Farms and Mrs Kirham's Lancashire.
