Van Morrison shared these with us in the song 'Cleaning Windows', a good mood song about doing the day job while dreaming of brighter things and finding his line.
Paris buns seem to be a Northern Irish treat and references pay note to working class and Scottish links. They are cheap to make, dry and slightly sweet cake like, usually with extra sugar on top, you need the lemonade with them or a good mug of tea.
Easily made and easy to store they can last a good few days.
