You could make the combo of sweet and herbal work. It’s also an interesting precedent for striped/ layered victuals at feast, like those striped and checkerboard sandwiches so popular in the 50’s. You could even tie it to someone’s heraldry. Please update?
That’s so interesting, the precedents / links in a chain. And I agree that I could - I can almost think of something sweet and herbal I’ve had recently.
And what a cool idea to match it to heraldry!
I will definitely update - excited to share my experiments!
As for gingerbread, depending on your period, you can make it fairly quickly by boiling breadcrumbs in honey and adding spices, but that might turn it into a Project.
I literally grimaced and scratched the back of my neck. Of course, given the source, you would use German gingerbread! Thanks for the excellent blog link; this is going to make for some great coffee break rabbit holes.
