I've been continuing to muck about with textures as a way of gaining a ritcher image with this style. It's too labour intensive to use for comic work, but might be fun for more expressive illustrations.
From the Costume of Yorkshire by George Walker (1814) ‘Haver Cake......is almost exclusively made in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and constitutes the principal food of the labouring classes in that district. It is a thin cake, composed of oatmeal and water.’
