Pontefract cake : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pontefract cake
Pontefract cakes (also known as Pomfret cakes and Pomfrey cakes) are a type of small, roughly circular black sweet measuring approximately 2 cm in diameter and 4 mm thick, made of liquorice, originally manufactured in the Yorkshire town of Pontefract, England. ==Name==
The original name for these small tablets of liquorice is a "Pomfret" cake, after the old Norman name for Pontefract. However, that name has fallen into disuse and they are now almost invariably labelled "Pontefract cakes". The term "cake" has a long history. The word itself is of Viking origin, from the Old Norse word "kaka".〔(The history of cakes ). Devlaming.co.za. Retrieved on 2011-12-23.〕〔http://www.surnameweb.org/Cake/surname-origin.htm〕
