Eaten in England, Germany, the U.S., Romania and more Nordic countries
than you can remember – the humble gingerbread has been a winter
holiday favorite, accompanying other delicacies on tables for centuries,
but always standing out thanks to a delicious combination of ginger,
molasses or honey.
So deeply rooted in Europe, it is perhaps odd, yet also delightful,
that it was actually an Armenian monk who introduced the sweet, dark
confection to the continent over one thousand years ago.
