The history of gingerbread dates back to ancient traditions in Europe. Since honey was quite expensive it gave importance to the swees that were prepared of it. Ancient Greeks used to put it in the mouth of the dead people, and Romans produced it as well. Hungarians produced honey and gingerbread pruducts from the Middle Ages. Pozsony, Kassa, Debrecen were the centres of its production in the 17th -18th centruries.
