Description
In German Hase means "hare" and Pfeffer means "pepper".[4]
In Dutch the term "Hazenpeper" was first attested in 1599 and also mentioned in 1778, both meaning 'a dish made with the meat of a hare'.[5]
In the Netherlands the dish is often made with the spiced cake called ontbijtkoek (also referred to as "peperkoek") to give it extra flavour and texture. In Germany ginger cookies called "Pfeffernüsse" are generally used.[2]
