The life cycle of a gingerbread man is a tragic but yummy tale. I don’t care if you’re a child or an adult, there’s always a debate about which part to eat first. I tend to go for the head because then he won’t stare at me when I go for the limbs. The first gingerbread men are often credited to Queen Elizabeth I. She had them made for a banquet, and the tasty cookies represented members of her court and foreign dignitaries visiting her royal highness. I can’t help but wonder if this was supposed to be flattering or send a message.
