Here are some suggestions on how to eat it!

Plain with your morning coffee - the staff have it every morning this way! (It's an excellent remedy for morning sickness!)

• Afternoon tea

• With a glass of red or mulled wine!

• Soaked in a liqueur - such a Cointreau, then served with créme frâiche

• Hot with our rum butter

• Hot with ice-cream or whipped cream

• Covered with poached pears and drizzled with warm chocolate

• Served with liqueur raspberries and whipped cream

Gingerbread crumbs

We sell the crumbs over the shop counter, which have now become very popular  - there're a great alternative to a digestive biscuit base for a cheesecake (ie lemon or raspberry).

Warm the crumbs up and sprinkle them over ice-cream - delicious!

Again warm the crumbs up and serve in the middle of a fresh pineapple ring with whipped cream - yummy!

The list is endless..., however if you have any ideas please share them with us!  sarahnelson@grasmeregingerbread.co.uk
