A Cornish fairing is a type of traditional ginger biscuit commonly found in Cornwall United Kingdom. Fairing was originally a term for an edible treat sold at fairs around the country though over time the name has become associated with ginger biscuits or gingerbread which were given as a treat to children or by men to their sweethearts. In Cornwall fairings contained ginger and became famous around the country when a Cornish manufacturer started selling them by mail order in 1886.
