虽然,中世纪以后饼干有很长的演变过程,但有些东西从未改变过。很多圣诞饼干依旧大剂量地使用香辛料,我们一想到“地道的”圣诞口味就会想到肉桂、肉豆蔻和姜的味道。
Gingerbread is a classic Christmas cookie, and yet it’s also a cookie that would have tasted strikingly similar back in the Middle Ages. These cooks would not have made gingerbread men, however. The first person to try that was none other than Queen Elizabeth I of England, who had the cookie molded into the shapes of her favorite courtiers.
姜饼是一款经典款的圣诞饼干,而且它现在的味道和中世纪时的基本一样。然而那时却没有姜饼小人。第一个做姜饼小人的不是别人,正是英国女王伊丽莎白一世,她把饼干做成了她最喜爱的大臣的形状。
