  Tula Gingerbread
  In the 17th century, life was difficult in Tula, people lived in poverty and need. So, everyone used the opportunity to be engaged in any craft or trade. Among the products that were produced gingerbreads occupied the leading position. Perhaps the difficult conditions boost the development of the gingerbread production in Tula. In an effort to somehow stand out, draw attention to their product and sell more, artisans tried to make gingerbreads tastes better and look prettier . It is known that in ancient times Tula craftsmen produced zhamks - small gingerbreads of round shape without any clearance. To impart the special taste qualities of zhamks they added nuts, honey and mint. Perhaps with them begins the story of printed gingerbread. Printed gingerbread is classic Tula gingerbread, which can be found on store shelves today. This gingerbread is round, oval or rectangular shape that have some intricate art pattern and text.
