Lancashire Hot Pot
This famous Lancashire dish has now become a favourite in all parts of the country. The name comes from the straight-sided brown pottery dish in which it was cooked. At one time, oysters, which used to be very inexpensive, were one of the ingredients used in hot pot, and pickled red cabbage was always served with it.
