  OK, next silly question: where do I get it?

Any good baking store, or baking supply catalog.  Around here you can get it
from Kitchen Etcetera.  (http://www.kitchenetc.com)

  >From _The Complete Book of Gingerbread_, by Valerie Barrett, pp 16-17:
  	"The medieval version of gingerbread would be unrecognizable today.
  Bread crumbs tossed with honey and spices were dried out or baked into
  hard, crumbly, flat cakes.

Oh.  A secondary source that cannot accurately define period gingerbread.

I'd like to dig deeper. Did she footnote anything on those pages?  It could
be true, but versimilitude would help.
