[Sca-cooks] gyngerbrede

[David Friedman]

>There are breads and cakes that contain ginger from all over Europe.
>What defines a gingerbread after all? A cake or bread with ginger, right?
>And again using medievalcookery.com, here's a few examples:


None of those is gyngerbrede, in the sense of something similar to 
the gyngerbrede in _Curye on Englysche_ (the honey and breadcrumbs 
one--there's a different one as well). For one thing, it isn't a cake 
or bread--it has about the texture of fudge.

I presume the question was whether something similar is made 
elsewhere in Europe. I don't know the answer.

[examples of unrelated things that could also be called "gingerbread" snipped.]
