We pride ourselves on our adventurous tastes of a confectionary type nature and are always looking for something new to try.
So when we were in the continental section of Tesco and saw these White Rabbit sweets curiosity got the better of us.
We liked the packet very much but the only hint as to what they might be like were the words “creamy candy”, from this Darrell surmised, correctly, that they may belong to the chewy genre of sweet.
They were indeed white, milky and chewy, but had a very strange edible rice paper wrap around them which we were all unanimous in finding very odd, it dissolved quickly on the tongue but to be honest spoilt our enjoyment of the confectionary and we intend to do some research on the interweb to see if the paper has any significance, that we may have missed.

Watch out - you may be eating kitchen work surfaces. They were contaminated with melamine, according to the link to Wikipedia. Melamine is used to make formica.
ReplyDeleteFormica is Latin for ant. Formic acid is found in the ant stings. They used to grind up and distil the ants to get the acid.
Here endeth today's lesson.
