boiley

Boiley is a Geordie (northeast England) dialect word for a traditional simple meal of milk and bread boiled together — a basic, warming dish from working-class Northern English food culture. It's the kind of humble comfort food that generations of Tyneside families grew up on, especially as a breakfast or supper for children. The name is endearingly straightforward: you boil the stuff together and there you go. Part culinary history, part linguistic window into life in Newcastle and surrounding areas.
