How about period gingerbread - as in Forme of Curye and in the modern
Pleyn Delit? This is, basically, honey cooked with breadcrumbs and
spices (sometimes with ginger, sometimes without), thickened to the
point of malleability and then rolled into small balls or cut into small
squares. It's quite yummy. Would you like a recipe?
