Welcome to Stuff I Learned Yesterday. My name is Darrell Darnell, I’m excited to be co-hosting the upcoming X Files podcast that we’re doing here at Golden Spiral Media, and I believe that if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living. In today’s episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday I’m pleased to bring you another installment of the Friday Forum.
Today’s Fun Fact: Today is not only Gingerbread House Day, it’s also Gingerbread Decorating Day. So it seems only fitting that today’s fun fact is also devoted to gingerbread.
- Ginger is a plant native to India and China which is prized throughout the world for its culinary and medicinal uses.
- Gingerbread is made from ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, anise and is generally sweetened with molasses or honey.
- To be considered gingerbread, the recipe must feature ginger as a dominant flavor and use either honey or molasses to add sweetness.
- It is thought that Hansel and Gretal, by the Brothers Grimm, was the main influence for the popularity of houses made of gingerbread and iced in sugar.
