It is thought that at Mediaeval weddings the bride and groom offered their guests Focaccia as a token of gratitude, though this custom is likely to have degenerated to the extent that it was banned from churches by the Bishop of Genoa. No doubt, if they had spread some Nutella® onto the Focaccia he would have been more flexible.
