Song About Geordie Scran

[Keldar]

There was a song out about 8-10ish years ago sung in a broad Geordie accent like the Gazza - Fog on the Tyne, but probably before Gazza's time. It was all about food and what the singer ate every day, I seem to recall a few lines such as: Taramasalata, Fried Tamata... and that's before me tea which is..... and on and on. Can anybody shed any light on Artist and Title...? Thanks in advance

The single was by Mr Food, but can't remember the title - I've got it somewhere but it's in the loft!! It started as a piece from Steve Wright when he had his Radio One afternoon show. "mashed potato, steak and kidney pie and mushy peas ... etc"

The title is actually "And That's Before Me Tea" - have had no luck tracking down the lyrics but I vaguely remember it as well.

Sorry I'm replying to this nineteen years after the question was asked and hope you are still alive and well.

I was part of a team who composed and recorded jingles for BBC's Steve Wright In The Afternoon from late 1989 to the early 2000's. The jingle you're curious about was called An That's Before Me Tea was one I wrote and performed under the character name of Mr Food in 1990. As well as that one there were subsequent jingles broadcast which I did all repeating the same theme till suffering indigestion :) ....The Nosh Rap, Runny Brie, Broccoli, 12 Days Of Christmas (Fried Onion Rings), etc.

All the above can be found on a YouTube channel called NOSH TV which is an archive of TV appearances, interviews and assorted clips of other silliness relating to it. Hope you have fun looking at it.
Different times!
