Foods that you are brought up on during your childhood tend to stick with you, with many people in Sheffield sharing similar early experiences.
Whether it was getting served lunch at school and looking forward to the pudding, or heading home in anticipation that you would be met with a big bowl of something special made by your parents or grandparents, we’ve put together a list of our readers’ favourite foods that remind them of their childhood in the city.
