I'm amazed too about the history of gingerbread. I had no idea about how it originally evolved until I started writing this article. Thanks! I’m amazed too about the history of gingerbread.

There also made into decorative heart shapes like the one in the above photo from Germany. There very beautiful! :) As for the chesnut puree, how about using it for fillings? Hungarian pancakes (palacsinta) are great with chestnut puree. It's also eaten as a main dessert called Gesztenyepüré with whipped cream and cherries. You might want to add more sugar into the mix if you want it sweeter. It's best served chilled. Hope this help! Hi Elsbeth,

Are the gingerbread cookies the same as Hungarian mezeskalacs? On another food topic-- I just got a jar of Hungarian chesnut puree (made by Adro: chestnuts, sugar, vanilla flavor, rum flavor and water). Any suggestions on what can be done with it? Many thanks.
