The Public Room at the 1784 tavern in Old Salem, NC

Colonial taverns, including the 1784 tavern in (Old) Salem, served ginger cakes with alcohol purchases. Much as 20th century bar patrons eat peanuts or pretzels so 18th century folks enjoyed their ginger cakes. 

Accordingly, the Public Room at the Old Salem tavern museum has (facsimile) ginger cakes on the tables.
