Isn't 'batter' a Yorkshire term - are you guilty of cultural (used loosely) appropriation ... ?
I can’t even spell appropriation ;) Batter is definitely a Yorkshire foodstuff, but the term batter comes from the legal offence of “assault and battery”…..and that comes in turn from the French verb “Battre“, to beat……

Not the "West country modelers popular liberation front" I always thought it was just a forgotten legend.
Wot!! The WCMPLF? Doesn't roll off the tongue does it? Any way what has the West Country ever given us? (Apart for the oggie?) :smiling2:
