Scottish Parliament staff BANNED from saying gingerbread ‘man’ at Holyrood coffee shop because it’s not gender neutral - as they rename biscuits ‘gingerbread people’
Parliament workers have labelled the treats “person” over fears the traditional name could offend
Wiki о прянинчном человечке:
Gingerbread dates from the 15th century, and figural biscuit-making was practiced in the 16th century. The first documented instance of figure-shaped gingerbread biscuits was at the court of Elizabeth I of England. She had the gingerbread figures made and presented in the likeness of some of her important guests.
