One of the places we visited in the Lake District was Grasmere, and I feel I need to dedicate a whole post to the delicacy that is Sarah Nelson’s Grasmere Gingerbread.
Oh. My. God. It is amazing – I’m not normally into things that are gingery tasting but everyone was having some so I tried some and… it blew me away; the taste haunted me for days.

It’s too cakey to be a biscuit but too biscuity to be a cake, it has a crumbly top and a dense and slightly chewy middle. There’s tones of ginger there (obviously) and all sorts of other flavours – I think possibly rum, maybe honey, black pepper even. I’ll never know for sure though as the recipe is a huge secret – I did find this recipe by Jamie Oliver though that I might try… either that or I have a long trip to get some more!

PS – Here’s another sheepington. I miss their woolly bottoms.

That polaroid of the sheep just blew me away! It’s so fantastic and perfect. I love how you caught the texture of their wool.
