What does PARKIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A dark, sticky ginger cake made with oatmeal and treacle, traditional in the north of England.
Parkin is the cake of Yorkshire and Lancashire, baked in a slab and cut into squares, and it is closely tied to Bonfire Night on the fifth of November. The oatmeal gives it a slightly crumbly bite, while the treacle makes it dense and sticky, and cooks often keep it a few days before serving so it softens. Recipes differ from town to town, and loyal bakers will argue over which one is the real thing.
