Stormont has been famous for its fudge in the past. But now Ian Paisley is trying to build its reputation for fadge. He told the EU's top diplomat Jose Manuel Barroso that Ulster produced the best food in Europe and extolled the virtues of "fadge" potato bread. He promised to give Senor Barroso a big feed of fadge whenever he returned to Stormont, adding that if he didn't eat it all he was sure "the Deputy" (Martin McGuinness) would "gobble it all up".

To confuse the matter even more the Ulster fry on offer from Martin McGuinness would contain nine items, while Ian Paisley would offer only six.
