Whenever cannibals are on the brink of starvation, Heaven, in its infinite mercy, sends them a fat missionary.

Panhacklety Or Panhaggerty
I have heard this dish called by both names however in the Northeast Of England I seem to remember it as being Panhacklety. There again, I might be wrong, I have been before and I suppose I will be again. Never mind, I do remember this simple dish as one that I enjoyed as a lad, so here it is.
