   Remarks: This recipe can be found in many very old books, and may have
 come orm the Old Norse language, where a heap of corn was known as Mugi.
 The   
   word can be traced back through early English, where corn was refered
 to as Muge and later Muga. In it’s ealiest form, it was probably made
 with yeast and honey instead of baking powder and syrup/sugar.
