NZ2764 : The Singin' Hinny, Shields Rd, Byker (5/13)
taken 16 years ago, near to Byker, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

The Singin' Hinny, Shields Rd, Byker (5/13)
A series of photographs of cafes and places to eat on or just off Shields Rd, Byker.
This is the Singin' Hinny.
A singing hinnie is a drop scone and is apparently so called because when it was cooked on a hot griddle it sizzled and was thought to be singing. The tale, as told on a Geordie Recipe site is that 'a north country housewife was baking this scone for tea and on repeatedly being asked by her children if it was ready to eat, her final reply was "No, it's just singing, hinnies". (Hinnies a Geordie term of endearment for children and loved ones)'
