Along with ingredients and a note that you need good teeth to eat it. Not sure if this is noteworthy. It's the reason I looked this page up, though.--Cyberman TM (talk) 08:17, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Maize in Horsebread?
Because Maize (Zea mays) was domesticated in North America, it would NOT have been used in horsebread until after the 15th century when trade with the Americas began. This means that a Mediaeval horsebread could not possibly have had any maize in it. Only if horsebread was still being made into the early modern period would a late form of horsebread have included maize. If any editor can provide a citation that proves horsebread was still made into at least the 17th century and thus possibly included maize, please provide it. I have just now added a Citation Needed template into the part of the introductory section that mentions that horsebread contained maize.Rigognos Molinarios (talk) 21:49, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
