Checking the recipes for both, the methods are similar, although ijera uses sourdough yeasts, and oatcakes brewer's yeast. Perhaps the soldiers had been stationed in the Horn of Africa rather than the Indian subcontinent.

Since moving to York, Tesco has them occasionally but this is great, thank you.

I missed the stottie cakes and great fish and chips but was soon hooked on oatcakes. Now in Calgary Alberta and came across this recipe...... ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.... as one or two have stated it needs thinning with a little extra milk but they still look and taste as good as those from the oatcake shop in Porthill. I'm sure I will soon have some converts here.... we do have a slight problem.... Canadian bacon and sausage isn't as good!

I used to have them when visiting relatives in Congleton and they were always bought locally and I'm sure at the co-op where my sister-in-law used to work. She did make her own as well.
