Dorset Knob-eating Contest to be Held Online

[Cerys]

Fancy eating a knob in Dorset?  Well, you can't.  At least not if you don't have one to hand.  You can, however, eat a Dorset know online.



Dorset knobs, not recently.

Nooooo!  You'll be saying next that they should grass over all the chalk horses and huge-dicked giants!

am i reading this right

somebody makes a kind of biscuit that's "thrice baked" so that it's dry and inedible without slathering it in honey and cream and also hard enough that you can throw the fuckers and play darts with them, and they're still considered food

i mean i thought our cuisine was shit but jesus

In a crossover with the pub nostalgia thread I grew up just down the road from this pub.



I have heard of the buns, but in all my time living in Dorset I never ate or even saw one.

I love knobs but I couldn't eat 15 whole ones, thus beating the world record set in 2015!

Somerset Live lowers the tone

They're just jealous.

I had my first knob about ten years ago, courtesy of a work colleague. I was somewhat underwhelmed and felt no desire to repeat the experience. I understand some people like them with cheese on.

I worked with a guy years ago who came back from a business trip to Dorset with a few knobs. As mentioned up thread they were pretty much inedible unless slathered with other comestibles. We ended up throwing them out onto a roof outside the office window where even the normally unfussy London pigeons turned their beaks up at them. Which says something coming from a bird I have seen tucking into chunder chunks on the streets.
