It wasn’t till David Fletcher left his native Stoke-on-Trent that he realised Staffordshire oatcakes usually are not broadly recognized exterior of the world. Not like the biscuit-like Scottish oatcakes, the model he grew up with is a savoury pancake served with fillings akin to bacon and cheese. “Each store has its personal secret recipe,” he says. “The variations should be very slight, however you continue to get fairly fierce opinions about that are the most effective oatcakes.” Now based mostly within the New Forest, the photographer has spent the previous two years documenting oatcake retailers. “If this was a French meals it will most likely have some sort of protected standing of origin, however we don’t try this a lot in England. For me it represents a cultural and culinary heritage.”
