The exact name in German is Lebkuchen, which translates as "gingerbread", but I really don't understand what it has to do with "ginger". There is no ginger in it. There is also a saying called "honey pepper cake", which is more reliable. At least there are peppers in it, and some honey biscuits.
Why did you buy this delicious chocolate in Germany? I think at least China people don't like it.
