The world-famous Oatcake Day took over Stoke-on-Trent on Thursday (Aug 8), and the local musical world (and Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols!) were finally ready to reveal their greatest desires.

What is your favourite oatcake?

Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols and The Faces

“Well I'm having a cheese and tomato one because they've got no onion left. Onion must be popular!” Glen said, frowning.

Sam Woolley of Troops of Mafeking

“Bacon and cheese. Other things in there make it too sloppy. Heard people have gravy too!” Sam said, in slight shock.

Sian Matthews of Faux Feet

“Jam. People frown upon it but it’s really nice!” Sian assured.

“It’s been my fav for a while. But other than that; cheese and Quorn bacon, even though it’s disgusting!” Laughed Sian.

Sam and Sam of Lifecolour

“Bacon all the way!” Sam Taylor enthused.

Sam Frawley wasn't far off from agreeing: “Bacon, sausage, cheese; meat all the way!”

John MacLeod of The John MacLeod Band

“Bacon and cheese, with ketchup near the oatcake for dipping. Never put ketchup in it; it could potentially ruin it. And some secondary advice: always have a bib! And impulse oatcakes are the best kind!” John advised with much concern.

Jack and Sophie of The Taskers

Stafford's Jack Tasker admitted: “Ages ago I had herbs and mushrooms, but that wasn't very Stokey.”

“I haven't had it, but I bet if you had avocado and bacon, that'd be nice. Mush the avocado so it's like butter...I might have that now,” said sister Sophie Tasker, licking her lips.

Danny Nicholson of Dirty Rotten Souls

Quite plainly: “Bacon, cheese and brown sauce.”
