National Oatcake Day 8th Aug
Every August on the 8th. We remember pits and clay. So stand up for Stoke-on-Trent. And celebrate Oatcake Day.
Who invented the oatcake? Oatcakes have also been described as being the "mainstay of Scottish breads for centuries". Jean Le Bel, around AD 1357-60 describes the Beguine nuns making "little pancakes rather like communion wafers". This is thought to be an early description of a Scottish oatcake.
