I wandered lonely as a gingerbread man
8 April 2010
Well, there you are. You’ve reached a point in life when you think you’ve tested, appreciated and rated for future reference all the classic northwest confectionary... the Eccles cake (Imperial War Museum North cafe does a particularly home made edition by the way), Kendal mint cake, Manchester tart, the Pontefract cake, Cartmel sticky toffee pudding... Bury black pudding.
The joyous side effect of producing issue #5 of Prime magazine (the best of culture and countryside in England's Northwest don’t you know...) has been the discovery of Sarah Nelson's Original Celebrated Grasmere Gingerbread. Produced in a little shop of heaven from a closely guarded recipe (like any good priceless items, the original recipe is held in the local bank vault), this gingerbread is genuinely, startlingly unlike any you’ve encountered before. Thin wafers of crumbly goodness are produced daily with the careful direction to consume within days of purchase. If you can’t get to Grasmere itself we suggest you set up a regular order online here.
And don’t forget a bit of the fudge on the side...
