Flitch Cakes ???
 

My husband has a recollection of his Aunt making "Flitch Cakes". This
is a "stuffed bread" containing ham, bacon, onion. Can't seem to find
anything. Anyone have any knowledge of such a thing ?

thanks ...Kristina

A flitch is a side of bacon, so that would explain the name.
Don't have a recipe for you. Why not just make a nice bread and stuff
with the ingredients you mentioned?

Here is an interesting bit of local history regarding flitches:
