Hello!! Making plans to complete the Easegill food traverse in the summer. Please could you list every passage, chamber, squeeze, etc in Easegill that is named after a food. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are:
Carrot chamber (county), chocolate cadbury traverse (county), Eccles by-pass (The Borehole), Molten mars bar crawl (link), Skittle Alley (Lancs), Christmas pudding passage (woodhouse way), Big mean porridge machine (Bye George)

But I know there are more. Many thanks,
A

There's always slug world? If you're feeling adventurous. And Crap trap. Cow pot doulsnbe interpretated as food. Same as the numerous ducks . There's a spot called apple barrel too. Double decker passage would be a nice spot. Unlike onion passage . If you really try (and throw all conservation to the wind) 3 fag climb could be done.

no one will be eating crap or slugs (unless you really want to). Whereabouts is apple barrel?

Golden Wonder Aven in Pippikin? (For those too young to remember, it was a brand of potato crisps.)
I've been eating those crisps this week!

Mushroom Passage, Toadstool Junction.
Butterfield Pasage.
Quality Street.
The Subway - that might require advance planning to acquire before the trip.

Mushroom Passage in County? Molluscan Hall for a bowl of moules mariniéres? And of course The Subway on your way under the Gill

Edit: Ah Dunc got a couple of mine while I was writing!

If you're feeling French there's Snail Cavern.
And for the all important liquid refreshment, Brew Chamber.

Can you still get them?! I've not seen them for years!

Just to make thehungrytroglobite's planning slightly easier, perhaps "Butterfield's Passage" isn't strictly named after food. It was named after Frank "Buzzer" Butterfield, who later became President of the Northern Pennine Club. He lived at The Knoll in Austwick (just down the road from Jack Myers in fact).

True. Although a few of the other suggestions might not be either. Depends how convoluted hungrytrog really wants it? Maybe he could just use the butter to fry the nearby mushroom?
