Talk:Tottenham cake

History

Just saw about this great on the Great British Bake Off, it seems notable - enough for me to look it up. Probably needs filling out with more detail though.2.123.76.66 (talk) 21:46, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

it would be, if it wasn't for it being fairly clear from the item on gbbo that the only research they'd done was reading this article (or this article's original source).Star-one (talk) 21:53, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Greggs

Has anybody verified the claim it's mass-produced and sold by Greggs? I went into a Greggs shop this afternoon and didn't see any on the shelves. That's admittedly only one shop, though.Star-one (talk) 17:58, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Origins of Tottenham cake

I have lived in Tottenham since the 1950's. My mother and her mother told me that the waste food was collected from residents houses in the Tottenham area. It was then mixed together as a cake and then fed to the many pigs that were kept in the farm in the locality. The reason that the Pink icing was used was to signify the Pink skins of the pigs that were fed. One of the area's in Tottenham that had a great number of pigs was in the Markfield park area. I suspect there is a connection between the Tottenham cake and the Tottenham pudding from the second world war.

Roman Catholic Chapel Chapel Place off White Hart Lane

I am a parishioner of St Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church Tottenham and have researched our history. The Tottenham page describes the chapel as dedicated to St Francis de Sales. My research included Middlesex Magistrates Court records held at London Metropolitan Archives. They have a file in respect of The Roman Catholic Relief Act 17y91 that required all catholic clergy to swear individual oaths that they were a catholic priest and where they ministered and also an oath was required in respect of the place of worship. Te oaths relating to the Chapel confirm it was dedicated to St Mary and St Joseph. When the catholic community left there in 1881 to move to their new chapel on Brereton Road that building was dedicated to St Francis de Sales. We believe the new name was because we were raised from Mission to Parish and were the first new church after St Francis de Sales had been declared a Doctor of the Church KateWorley (talk) 08:30, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
