So, does gingerbread have ginger? The answer is: it depends. If you buy the cheap stuff, you might get a whisper of it, like a rumor from across the room. If you bake it yourself, you control the volume. Crank it up. Add a little extra. Make your kitchen smell like a spice bazaar.
And if you bite into a cookie that tastes like a plain sugar cookie wearing a Halloween costume? Don’t panic. You’ve just learned a life lesson: names are not always promises. But when they are? That’s the best kind of cookie. The kind that makes you nod, smile, and reach for another. Ginger or not, that’s what really matters.
Now go eat some gingerbread. With or without ginger—just don’t forget the milk. You’ve earned it.
