Have never heard of it. My family's traditional Christmas Eve meal depends on a bread sauce of sorts though. You basically chop up half a loaf of gingerbread (we usually use ontbijtkoek, a Dutch breakfast loaf, because it's relatively easy to get), soak it in roughly a pint of "Schwarzbier" for an hour or more. At the same time, you boil up some diced carrots, parsnips (optional), celeriac and a chopped onion until they're almost tender. Then you add the gingerbread mixture, cook until everything is nice and thickened, then you throw in some frankfurters or smoked sausages, and serve the whole thing with boiled potatoes and sauerkraut.
Bit of a digression, but I hope you don't mind
Could I just have the schwarzbier please? Big fan of it, never enough available in this country.
