    My old Mum use to say that rhubarb gave you a good run for your money!
    While we're talking about laxatives, the Leeds-Wakefield area may have the The Rhubarb Triangle.....but in the C17th, Brigg has been documented as having widespread plantations of liquorice..
    Perhaps we should re-invent ourselves and make Brigg Cakes (cf Pontifract) and sell them at Sankey's...that should prove a good run!
