@pagan8th – my wife’s daughter lived in Stoke for a quite a few years. I was never more disappointed than when she finally presented me with a Stokey-oatcake. In my mind they were like a savoury, rounded flapjack. A cake. Made from oats.
I was given a wholemeal pancake. Which, I now understand, technically meets the brief of “oatcake” – if you’re generous. But they’re not really cake-y are they? And I’m not entirely convinced that the one I had was actually made of oats and wasn’t just a wholemeal tortilla wrap 😉

I like your description better – oat pancakes.
(ok, now I see it – but pancakes aren’t really that cake-y either, if we’re honest!)
Oat crepes.

We do that to things we don’t understand 😉
