Gingerbread is more interesting than you might think…

Gingerbread itself varies from a soft cake to a hard biscuit. It appears that it was brought to Europe by an Armenian monk. But I also read that it’s believed to have been first baked in Europe when returning crusaders brought back the concept of spiced breads from the middle East in the 11th Century.
