Fruitcake: Yorkshire Parkin to be investigated for slavery links

Parkin cake – made with ginger and treacle – is to be investigated in research by Leeds City Council, plus other local favorites such as Yorkshire tea. The aim is to provide evidence which can be used in teaching material for primary schoolchildren (age 5-11) along with gender bias and decolonization.

Sadly, the council found no support in Leeds for removing statues. Looks like more public education is called for. :rolleyes:
