Rock Cakes, no really I get Mrs H to spin up a batch and they last for ages.

Which anchor would you recommend or use with those then?

Got to be a malt loaf. Buttered if conditions allow - au natural if too rough to bother. Not many crumbs & no wet wipes needed afterwards.

I had this thrown at me as a discussion point at an interview once!

Lardy Cake....proper lardy cake, made with Lard. Not the modern facsimile...

Apparently, so I hear, the difference is that biscuits go soft when stale and cakes go hard when stale. But I'm sure you knew that

Dylan you are wrong, wrong and thrice wrong (well according to Wiki and the tax man)...

You have actually waited to prove this? Sorry not going to happen with me around...

If its anything like my sisters efforts on these, probably the cakes themselves....
Then you never tried her Christmas cake or Christmas Pudding... Always the highlight of Christmas, she could tell the difference between, pints and half singles and doubles (although half a cup of brandy) but Teaspoons and Table Spoons grams and ounces....

I'm too busy baking a boil and bake fruit cake for the Clyde Scuttlebutt to reply to this thread! I'll have the captain send a picture.

It can also double as a mud anchor.

Parkin:

It sticks to your palate, teeth & gums and is also good for:

Preventing water ingress,
Reducing the ability of flight in Seabirds,
& as with Stormy's bake-boil-fruity-rock ..... as a 'Mud-Anchor',
Repelling boarders,
Mopping oil spillage etc,
And dunking in-me Tea!

I have taken a photo of the cake for next week. Mr Aquaplane's going to fiddle with his f-stops and try & post it on here. Parkin eh?

I'll see what I can do before we set off for Windermere (MOT, Weather, traffic, trailer etc etc permitting....)

A batch of really dense chocolate brownies, due to their "squidyness" they are good for at least a week. (If I hide the tin that is..)!
