How much ground almonds by percentage must almond paste contain to be called marzipan in Sweden and Finland ?
In Toledo ( 850-900 , though more probably 1150 during the reign of Alfonso VII ) this specialty was known as " Postre Regio " instead of " Mazapán " ) and there are also mentions in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights of an almond paste eaten during Ramadan and as an aphrodisiac .
