Tulskiy Gingerbread Lakomka Americano with Cocoa and Chocolate Chips, 5.6 oz (160g)

Tula gingerbread is a printed, filled cake rather than the hard spiced biscuit the English word suggests — soft, dense, and stamped with a pattern on top.

This one is made with cocoa and studded with chocolate chips, which puts it closer to a chocolate cake than to the traditional honey-and-fruit version. Cut it into squares and serve it with black tea, which is how it is eaten at home.

Made to European food rules on additives and labelling.
