Mackio Larkin was the first man to roast peanuts in the world! He and his brothers owned a string of confectionery and fruit/vegetable shops. The family were originally costermongers who plied their trade around the streets of West Ham. My grandmother was born Elizabeth Larkin and was their sister. -Janice Akass
