Treacle Parkin

[speydulika]

A most terrible dish that my mammy used to serve me as a bairn. It does however make an excellent pattern for trout when the sun is shining or when its cloudy or when its cold or when its raining. Oddly enough I even did for a salmon with one once. A most edifying experience that was.
