Haai almal

En hier by ons is die ekwiwalent van _klitschig_ ' kluitjierig' soos in "Die 
brood is erg kluitjierig".

Groete

I know this word but haven't heard it in years. It might be localised as I 
don't remember hearing it in the part of (west) Cornwall where I grew up, 
although I certainly remember family members from the extreme east of 
Cornwall (next to the border with England) using it. I will ask my mother 
about it and report back the next time I speak to her. She's from Truro, 
which is midway between west and east Cornwall.

Also
"A very useful word. It describes the kind of food texture that sticks to 
your teeth when being eaten and necessitates much cleaning of teeth 
afterwards with the tongue: i.e. Digestive Biscuits. Cornish Pasties..."

Depends how you make your pasties. :) Most of what are passed off by English 
folk as "Cornish" pasties wouldn't be in slightest bit clidgie. Though 
pastie recipes are passed down within families (for instance, I make pasties 
the way I was taught to make them by my mother), there is a great variation 
in style, construction and clidgieness depending on how much potato, swede 
and meat (which reduces clidge) is involved.

I may have a pastie tonight for my tea after all this talk...

Go raibh maith agat,
