    ..also called Chester Cake, Donkey's Wedding cake and a few other names. Hugely popular in Cork. Made from the day before's cakes and bread and the sweepings of bakeries. Sold, to Mon boys, for as little as a penny a piece, by John from a tiny shop at the Fair Hill gate. A fourpenny slice was about the size of a fist and had icing on it. It was industrial strength cake and very heavy and filling. I occasionally come across it in the wilds of Wicklow but it's not the same. Anyone in Cork remember it?

    regards

    It's alive and well in Cork and sold in giant family-sized portions to cut up at home in most Dunnes Stores :)
