One thing they always stressed at school before exams.
Reread the question before you answer. And some of the following posts, but t'internet weren't around in them days.

I was all ready to explode. Parkin with vegetables? WTF?!!
Oh. Dinner and dessert.
Sorry.

But I am as anal about proper names and recipes as I am about... most things.
Even though I am laissez faire with leftover recipes - I'll call them anything I damn please.

Mum makes tiffin to an Irish recipe. I bristle when people call something else tiffin, although I now know there is not "right" recipe, the name being borrowed from India as a meal, not a confection at all. And her tiffin has no raisins in, which I believe (from the preponderence of raisins in other tiffins) this might have been her choice, or perhaps the person who passed the recipe on.

One of the things (my missed friend) Emma & I bonded on was the proper recipe for Krispie Cakes. Exacerbated by a TV advert. NO! They are not just melted choc over [insert cereal of your choice]! They involve butter, and Golden Syrup. They are chewy not hard. Sheesh. Childhood loyalties.
