THE BATTERED RAG PUDDING AT ONE OF OLDHAM’S BEST-LOVED CHIPPIES From sausages to Mars bars (north of the border, of course) everything in a chippy has the potential to be battered. Some, for better or worse, have even battered chips. But this is the first time we’ve seen a battered rag pudding. This hyperlocal delicacy - rarely available outside of its origins in Oldham - is, for those who haven’t come across one, like a flattened suet pudding, filling with steak mince and gravy.
