? sorry, I couldn't resist, I have no idea what parkin is, off to google.

Mmm parkin, yummy! I'm afraid I don't have one but I'd be interested if someone else has a good one. My nan used to make the best parkin but I never got the recipie before she died.

My grandad swears he can't remember the recipe, but i've seen him make it in the past - i remember it had half a tin of golden syrup and half a tin of treacle, loads of mixed spice and loads of rolled oats...

and other things ?

Anyone?
