[What?]

Point of order - it should be Red Leicester and probably needs a sprinkle of salt and pepper

Blue Boar?

it might well be Leicester but I’m with the naysayers, you can keep that delicacy.

A true delicacy. Are they back to their original colossal size now? Last time I was there they'd lost about a third of their filling

 

[Uttoxfox]

Nothing better than a pint with one of these babies. When I was at college in the late ‘70’s the local pub did a cottage bun like this but with a slice of black pudding in the topknot bit.

They are, clocked them last night.

Back at the end of the 60s, I did a work placement in the council building in town hall square. We came and went through a rear entrance in Bowling Green St.

The pub of choice was almost opposite the entrance, the Durham Ox.
There was a rear room and you got served through a hatch from the main bar area.

Friday lunch was always the cheese and onion cob, fresh and crusty and very simple, much like the picture above. Pint of draught Bass on the side.

Been gone a while now.

Blue Boar yes. kpbw's usual pre-match meal. I'm a 'ham & tomato' man meself.

The crusty cobs (without filling) are from Sherwin's on the indoor market.

Seem to remember they did a decent chicken curry as well

Looks like a blue boar cob to me also

Not sure about the salt and pepper, but yes to Red Leicester.

Only a sprinkle

Oyaadate - drooling as I type. Very early 80's auntie Pam in the Manny on Knighton Fields Road had those babies set up behind the bar. Washed down with a pint of Mild or a couple of bottles of Manns Brown Ale.

Less than a decade ago, Crusty 'Bobs cobs' in the Richard the third pub were £1 each with very generous fillings that would keep you going all day.

 

[What?]

Crusty Bob sounds rather unhygienic

Takes me back to summer 1984 when i worked at Coomb's bakers in Leicester. Cycled 8 miles to and from work as there were no buses running early enough to get me to there. lost about 2lbs of fluids a day working the proofing rooms and baking ovens and we existed on cheese and onion cobs from the factory shop. Yum.
