I have never heard of another type, always been parsley
I really miss the Stow-cracking night out.
And I once bumped into Gazza and Chris Waddle in Charlie Chans nightclub.Made my night.
Used to play pool in the Crooked Billet, before and after each meet.
It is then certain that our paths must have crossed at some point.Tottenham home game/pool in Crooked Billet/Stow/Curry was a pretty regular Saturday for me throughout the 80s!!
Then I got married and had children and those halcyon days quickly came to and end!!
What the fuckety fuck is Tottenham Cake?
Its a light cake ,like a maderia made with pink icing.Originally made in the Quakers house in Tottenham High road for as a treat for the poor kids of the area.The icing was coloured and flavoured from beries off a tree in the garden of the Quaker house.I will look it up and find out exactly what berries they are.
Greggs sell it ,if you want to know what it looks like.
EDIT
NN beat me to it.

Get to the ground early - have lunch in the pie 'n mash shop, fish 'n chips for your dinner, and then a doner kebab after your visit to a night club
the perfect day out
Pinky and Perky loved it ,by all accounts...
Indeed, gave the area an interesting aroma according to my mum. Never experienced it myself but apparently not pleasant.
Me neither.Its purely word of mouth from family.
I can see this place being popular with hipsters (who are unfortunately starting to seep into North Tottenham now as well as South) as well as with Spurs fans, so hopefully they will get enough custom on non-match days to survive and prosper.
So hipsters are a good or a bad thing?
I'm indifferent to them being in Shoreditch but I don't want them in Tottenham. If they're here anyway then I'm glad for the pie shop to have their custom though.
I think when you remember an area when it was a bit rough around the edges,you don't like the hipster incursion.When you don't they are tolerable.I don't like thenm in Shoreditch either,as i remember when it wasn't like it is now.
Yeah me too. Lived in Shoreditch in the early 90's, most people who swan around there now would have been stabbed in minutes. Halcyon days
