An excerpt from the post:

"Gingerbread describes a wide variety of baked confections...  [It] can be traced back to ancient Greece and Egypt where it was used for ceremonial purposes...  Gingerbread is often associated with winter and especially with Christmastime when it takes the form of gingerbread men (first served by Queen Elizabeth I) and gingerbread houses (developed in Germany based on the Brothers Grimm fairly tale collection that included Hansel and Gretel)..."
