Gingerbread Trivia
If you lived in London in 1614, your
family would have gone to the Bartholomew Fair on August
24. Of the special cakes prepared for holidays and
feasts in England, many were gingerbread. If a fair
honored a town's patron saint, e.g., St. Bartholomew,
the saint's image might have been stamped (and even
gilded) into the gingerbread you would buy. If the fair
were on a special market day, the cakes would probably
be decorated with an edible icing to look like men,
animals, valentine hearts or flowers. Sometimes the
dough was simply cut into round "snaps."
Gingerbread-making was eventually recognized as a
profession in itself. In the seventeenth century,
gingerbread bakers had the exclusive right to make it,
except at Christmas and Easter.
