Mention of this sweet and peppery treat is found as far back as the Renaissance. There is mention of its popularity amongst the early inhabitants of Gradec (now Gornji Grad) in Augusta Šenoe’s book ‘The Goldsmith’s Gold.’ These small, rectangular pastries are made using honey, walnuts and pepper.

  This is overall an excellent guide . Although the Hotel Dubrovnik is not mentioned. Nor the street with all the cafes such as Bulldog. All in all a very useful booklet. Thanks
