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.

these are amazing!
This gingerbread sounds amazing! Think they ship to Canada? haha!
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. :)
oh man the gingerbread… I love it so much and the sheep! we stayed at a sheep farm too – I wish I’d taken more photos now and yours is gorgeous!
You shouldn’t have mentioned it – I can’t stop thinking about it now! :)
