....the origin of a "Jacobs Join" We had one at Christmas and I was asked where the phrase came from. If you don't know it's when everybody brings food. It might just be a northern thing.
Hope the great minds on the forum can come up with the answer.
Happy New Year.
Does anybody know?

Hi Gill
Though born and raised in Lancashire and lived 40 years in Yorkshire, I can't say I've ever heard it used. It is a Pennine phrase it seems.
Some interesting information here
