Most excellent. One of my colleagues - who's just been up in the Lakes, walking - has brought us some Grasmere gingerbread.

For those of you not familiar with Grasmere gingerbread, it is the Dwarf Bread of gingery comestibles. And it's flippin' lovely. I am now (a) full of gingerbread and (b) covered in crumbs.

According to TFOAK there is also Lancashire parkin, which uses golden syrup instead of treacle. But I've never seen it!

Do you use proper oatmeal? I use porridge oats whizzed up a bit to break them up, but never sure if that's really the same.
