     Tout comme le pain d'épice, les confiseries à base de miel ont traversé les siècles dans bien des pays du monde, chacun les adaptant en fonction des produits dont il dispose et de ses habitudes.

     Like gingerbread, sweets made with honey have fared well worldwide over the centuries, each country adapting them according to the available goods and their customs.
