The name of the dish directly translates to "stomach-bread" as it is believed to help improve digestion. This recipe first appeared in Swiss cookbooks in the late 18th century. It is usually sold in Christmas markets in northern Switzerland and southern Germany. It is known by many names including Honigkuchen, Gewürzkuchen, or Kräuterbrot.
