A type of crispy, cracker-like flat bread prepared with spelt flour that is German in origin. Some recipes are made with additional whole-grain spelt, which gives the flat bread an interesting texture and nutty flavor.
Traditionally made in England during the 14th century to be served during Christmas, this dessert was originally prepared as porridge with a pudding-like consistency that was thickened with bits of dried fruits, spices, meat (beef or veal), wine or sherry, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
