No no no......it is rather like a ginger cake....very dark and squishy although the one I have in at the moment is a touch dry I have to admit. May have to put butter on it!!! I remember someone who used to gently fry either ginger cake or malt loaf in butter. Whichever it was it was delish.





How about Battenburg cake?

Battenburg...YUK

But my dad loves it,so does Madam grandaughter.

Dont like marzipan me,love almonds though !




The principal ingredients of parkin are flour, oatmeal, black treacle (molasses), fat (traditionally lard, but modern recipes use butter or margarine), and ginger.

I love molasses


and it's very good for you


I used to make the most scrumptious oatmeal and raisin cookies that had molasses in, as well as ginger cookies that also had molasses in


1 spoonful for the mix, 1 spoonful for me

AARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
again.

Someone else on Ancestry has nicked my relatives.

Trouble is Ancestry finds a "matching" record so they click on it without reading it to see if it makes sense. So someone is born 185 baptised 1840 and has children 20 years after death.

I am starving and I come on here to get assaulted by food talk.
