 I recently made a giant nef out of gyngerbrede for a feast I cooked; by the

    Wonderful! Roz didn't mention *that* when she was raving about your 
feast....... ;-) I just made a batch for the Royal's lunch at Tourney of the 
Foxes--first time I've gotten around to doing so. I definitely didn't cook 
the honey long enough! It's a bit better than the batch the lady who started 
the thread mentioned, but it's still just now beginning to crust over, after 
nearly a week. Had to add much more bread to it than the recipe I was going 
by (Cariadoc's) called for, too. I was wondering if I should have dried the 
crumbs out a bit first, so I felt better when Master A. suggested that they 
should indeed be moist......... ;-) Glad I ended up rolling it into balls and 
stamping them--that gave me an excuse to roll it in sugar, which is helping 
to harden it, I think. Ah, well--at least the stuff *tastes* yummy. I won't 
mind a bit if there are leftovers! ;-)
