Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Random blog day boo yah. As you should know Fridays is random blog day were we talk anything and everything and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on Gingerbread Houses.
Gingerbread Houses are a novelty confection, usually a building made out of edible cookie dough -usually Gingerbread hence the name- that is cut and baked into walls and roofing. Another type of model making with Gingerbread is usually edible statuettes or other decorations, usually made via a boiled dough that can be moulded like clay. Gingerbread Houses are a popular Christmas Decoration and are usually decorated in icing and various candy.
Its believed that Gingerbread was first baked in Europe at the end of the 11th Century when Ginger was brought back from the Middle East during the crusades. Many Food Historians ratify that Ginger has been seasoning food and drink since antiquity. According to French Legends, an Arminian Monk called Gregory Maker later known as Saint Gregory of Nicopolis, brought Gingerbread to Europe in 992. He lived near the town of Pithiviers in Bondary, France for seven years and taught other priests how to make Gingerbread to other priests and Christians. He died in 999.
Gingerbread as we know it today descends from Medieval European culinary traditions with Gingerbread formation being done by Monks in Franconia Germany during the 13th century, and around 1395 Nuremberg, Germany was recognized as the “Gingerbread Capital of the world”.
