Do you only remember liking it or do you have some inkling of what was in it?  |

I only remeber liking it. Isn't that terrible?
This could be a good reason for phoning mum. I bet she'll remember.

I think they are something like a baked cheesecake with currants in, in a pastry case. |

yes, I think that does sound familiar.
but then that sounds very like a Yorkshire curd tart...which is also very nice. |

I was born and brought up in Lincoln, and I've never heard of it! 
When you find a recipe, please post it here.

| I've got a vague memory of eating pastries with a thin filling of currants, cherries etc and icing on top - is that a Lincoln tart? I can't even find a google ref to Lincoln pudding... what is it? |
Ooh! I've just located that memory - school dinners! Suet crust pastry topped with a layer of currants, sultanas and the odd bit of glace cherry and a layer of water icing over the fruit. Heavenly stuff . |

I've got alot of old cookery books and can't find Lincoln tart in any--you've just reminded me that I used to love Manchester tart though. |

the odd thing is I never knew about Manchester tart until recently. Do children still have strange regional tarts? |

Still looking for Lincoln tart.
Just been searching t'interweb and this is the only hit that comes up.
Can I really be the only person in the whole world that's experienced Lincoln tart? |

Ooh I love a recipe hunt. From Slim's link it looks like the Tate and Lyle puddings book is the best bet and there are some on Amazon 2nd hand. So as a matter of public service James shurely has to buy one and tell us if it turns up anything...

There are several copies but I am not allowed to buy any more books as we have nearly run out of walls. |

Get a grip. The correct response to that is to build an extension not stop buying books. Or move to a bigger house. |
