Clanger
Clanger is a term that can refer to several different concepts, including a type of pastry and a character from a popular British television series. This article will explore both meanings in detail.
Clanger (Pastry)[edit | edit source]
A Clanger is a traditional Bedfordshire pastry, also known as a Bedfordshire Clanger. It is a suet crust dumpling filled with meat at one end and a sweet filling at the other. This unique combination of savory and sweet makes it a distinctive dish in British cuisine.
History[edit | edit source]
The Clanger has its origins in the rural county of Bedfordshire, where it was traditionally made by farm workers' wives. The pastry was designed to be a convenient and filling meal that could be easily carried to the fields. The savory end typically contained pork, bacon, or other meats, while the sweet end was filled with jam, fruit, or sugar.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The dough for a Clanger is made from suet, which gives it a rich and hearty texture. The filling is divided into two sections: one for the meat and one for the sweet component. The pastry is then rolled up and baked until golden brown.
Clanger (Television Series)[edit | edit source]
Clangers is also the name of a popular British television series created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin. The show originally aired from 1969 to 1972 and was revived in 2015. It features a family of small, mouse-like creatures who live on a small, hollow planet.
Characters[edit | edit source]
The main characters in the series are:
- Major Clanger - The father figure and leader of the Clanger family.
- Mother Clanger - The nurturing mother of the family.
- Small Clanger - The adventurous son.
- Tiny Clanger - The curious daughter.
Setting[edit | edit source]
The Clangers live on a small, hollow planet with a landscape that includes craters and caves. They communicate through a series of whistling sounds, which are translated into English for the audience.
Episodes[edit | edit source]
Each episode of Clangers features the family engaging in various adventures and solving problems. The show is known for its gentle humor and imaginative storytelling.
