Remembering November 5th: An Exploration of Guy Fawkes and Yorkshire Parkin
Every November 5th, many people around the world recite the phrase "Remember, remember the 5th of November." This rhyme is often associated with a Guy Fawkes mask, yet many outside the UK may not fully understand its significance or the celebration of Bonfire Night. This date honors the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and has become a time for enjoying Yorkshire Parkin, a sticky ginger cake deeply rooted in this history.
