Im doing well with my regional recipe research, but as yet have nothing from the Bristol region.

Has anyone any ideas?

Stargazey pie is Cornish, about as far west Cornish as you can go

I dont know what wallfish are (Scargos?)

We have Cheddar cheese and scrumpy so no need for anything else really ;-)
Oh and the snails mentioned above on the Mendips.....

You could be contentious; the Colston buns were very popular.
Probably worth mentioning them as no doubt they'll change the name of them soon as they have with anything else that mentions Edward Colston in Bristol!

Bristol doesn't realy have much in the way of local food except the buns and Clark pie, but anything using pork, cider, and apples is fairly local.
Being a trading port, Bristol has always had many influences from around the world as regards food, for a good few hundred years.... Jamaican being very popular. So maybe a Jamaican goat recipe?

All helpful things to know. I myself am trying not to repeat themes.

So, by including Marmalade in Oxford them I free up a Scottish slot.

There seems to be a lot of regional variation on similar themes, -in Wiltshire we have Bacon fraize which is like Toad in the hole with bacon instead of sausages.

And the Scottish Rumbledethumps is a variant on Bubble and squeak, (A dish to use up leftovers from Sunday dinner)

(Why they cant simply cook enough for everyone like Dad does I do not know)

I may use Bristol as a Bucket category, -I can put in traditional dishes I havent otherwise found homes for.

Caribbean recipes sound a good idea but that might have to be used (respectfully, though GB versions of foreign foods are not beyond possibilities, -even as far back as Chaucers time we imported several variants of curry powder into the country) in a different way, seeing as our Afro-Caribbean society are across the road (and these days the Afro-Caribbean shop) Our area is certainly diverse (and poor)
