Apple cider has long been produced in the fall season in Europe and North America, which meant that it became a traditionally autumn and winter beverage – naturally, mulled apple became a staple at Christmas dinners and winter fairs!
By the late 1700s, apple cider was so ubiquitous in North America that one in ten family-run farms owned cider presses to make the drink. It wasn’t just for drinking either – clean water wasn’t as easy to come by during this period in time, so many baptisms in early Christian communities were allegedly performed with cider rather than water!
Oh, and have you ever heard the Christmas carol that goes “here we come a-wassailing…” and wondered what that meant? Wassailing refers to an ancient English custom that involved gathering in apple orchards with votive offerings for nature spirits and singing to the trees, in order to ensure a successful harvest for the cider-making season. Apart from showing how much the season revolved around apples, this custom evolved into the caroling tradition that we still love today!

姜饼的历史比你想象的要久远得多，而且在不止一个大洲以不同的形式被人们享用。第一次提到类似姜饼的烘烤食品是在公元前2400年在希腊发现的食谱中，尽管姜根本身最早是在中国古代被种植用于药用目的。
姜饼的受欢迎程度在公元992年达到顶峰，当时一位名叫尼科波利斯的亚美尼亚僧侣将姜饼带到了西欧，在那里，姜饼作为一种温暖的食物，以及治疗消化不良的方法，迅速得到了普及。
几个世纪以来，这种食物基本上被烤成了柔软的蛋糕面包或酥脆的饼干，在英国第一个伊丽莎白时代，它被用于精心制作的糖果装饰。到了16世纪，德国的面包店开始展示姜饼屋的艺术演绎，以吸引他们的顾客，这种典型的圣诞展示一直持续到今天！"。
事实上，最大的姜饼屋的记录目前由美国购物中心保持，它横跨约40000平方英尺，使用了4000块姜饼砖。它是如此之大，以至于它甚至需要建筑许可证才能建造。
