Marshmallows

You must have rogue taste buds. A marshmallow in my mouth is sweet from the inception.

I agree with Cletus, they taste like powdery sugar mush the minute they hit my tongue.

nope - no powder, no sugar taste, definitely not mushy - spongy maybe but these superfresh ones (out of a smores kit) are quite firm, not mushy

maybe it's the part of my mouth/palate they touch first that makes them not taste sweet ... did I burn out the sweet receptors at the front? I know they're all over but if it doesn't touch all over


(obsessing about marshmallows in Toronto)

Well if your going to obsess about marshmallows, Toronto is the place to do it!
(Awesome city)

Thirding the powdery sugar part of the marshmallow equation. It's not necessarily powder sugar texture but that's the closest and easiest comparison to what it actually is.

Marshmallows are sweet adjacent. But than again, I have a sweet tooth.

From childhood to now, I have always seen marshmallows as a kind of fraud. They promise much but deliver little. I would not say the same about (say) meringues, but maybe that's just me.

now meringues

those hard ones



no

but meringue - like the top of lemon meringue pie



yes

the hard ones are too sweet
the soft burnt topping isn't - but I tend to like my burnt sugars almost bitter




and and

best ice cream

Éd's Burnt Marshmallow - they had it at the Suzuki Butterfly Parade the other week - so good

Marshmallows are my favorite and its taste is just yum.

Have you considered writing an epic romance novel? You have such a way with words.

And you've got a way with genres.

I'm thinking with Gone with the Marshmallow Wind.

What about Marshmallow Unbound on the Orient Express?

I haven't considered yet, but your reaction is motivating me now Lollzzz
