    3. >>On the theme of our British heritage, does anyone know if a stotty cake can be bought in Canada? It is a round loaf of bread about the size of a frizbee, and best had with fresh lemon curd.<<Janet What is lemon curd? I googled a stotty cake source in Canada to no avail, also recipes. All I found was "Stotty cakes are discs of dough baked at the bottom of the oven. The origin of the name Stotty Cake is unknown, though stotted in North-Eastern dialect means bounced. Perhaps this reflected how the baker would throw them on to the oven floor as a preliminary, or to use up the leftovers." Sarah in Texas who has never tasted a stotty cake
