"ngredients: Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Maize Starch, Beef Gelatine(HALAL), Citric Acid, Natural Colours: Anthocyanins, Paprika Extract, Curcumin; Natural Flavourings, Glazing Agents: Vegetable Oil, Carnauba Wax, Beeswax; Vegetable Concentrates: Nettle, Spinac"

The reason for having Halal candy: the beef gelatin is Halal.

The rest of it doesn't look any better for you than ordinary marshmallows. ;)

A recipe for marshmallows would remind me somewhat of Samuel Johnson's recipe for cucumbers:

"It has been a common saying of physicians in England, that a cucumber should be well sliced, and dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out, as good for nothing."

Marshmallows. Yech! ;)

I can't stand to eat a marshmallow. Strange texture lol

Agree Sue only three things I could not eat, marshmallows, stuffed hearts and tapioca
Carol

Yeah, they're just gross, aren't they?

Puke salad, of course, has lemon jelly and cottage cheese and mayonnaise and pineapple and celery and radishes and green onions -- but no marshmallows!!

Mind you, the texture of cottage cheese leaves something to be desired. It's where puke salad gets most of its name. My dad decided once that I was going to eat cottage cheese, just because. I was probably about 13 at the time. I sat at the table after Sunday lunch staring at a forkful of cottage cheese for about 2 hours before he gave up.

Ooh, I have a good one -- an ad/recipe I clipped from a women's magazine and framed and hung in my kitchen years ago, just because it was so grossly vile.

Berry mallow yam bake. But the picture looked like weiners baked in marshmallow.

Google actually offers it as an autocomplete suggestion: Berry mallow yam bake recipe.


Berry-Mallow Yam Bake

Combine the following for the crumb mixture:

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dry oats
1 tsp cinnamon

Cut in 1/3 cup butter.

Toss: 1 cup crumb mixture
2 cans (17oz) each drained yams
2 cups frozen, but thawed, cranberries

Place in 2-quart casserole dish and top with remaining crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Top with miniature marshmallows, and broil about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn.


Uh, not too careful ...

Stuffed hearts sounds dreadful - can't imagine eating them. What are they stuffed with?

Tapioca! Fish eyes! Another favourite of my dad's. ;)

Actually ... my dad made stuffed beef heart once ... and it wasn't so bad.

I have carried on his tradition of eating chicken/turkey hearts and gizzards (but turkeys no longer have the gizzard in the innards package, here, anyway). No.1 objects loudly when I do.

Saturday was my dad's trip to the farmer's market. Salami and rye bread sandwiches with Cheez Whiz (cream cheese hadn't made it to the working class in Ontario in the 50s) for lunch, and "chicken guts" and potato chips while watching The Rifleman and then Hockey Night in Canada in the evening.

HEARTS USED TO BE MY DADS FAVORITE
THAT AND FAGGOTS

Boiled pigs head & cabbage...Mum used to say it was "delicious" ,I can't eat a meal if it's l"@@"king at me.eeeyuck

Chicken guts!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p

I love stuffed hearts! Any heart will do - but beef hearts are the best!
Very difficult to get whole now, though.
Will be having sliced beef heart for dinner today.
Sue, they're stuffed with stuffing (sage & onion etc)

Not too keen on marshmallows - wouldn't go out of my way to buy them.

Used to boil chicken gizzards, make gravy from the stock and give the meat (minus the neck) to the cat!!

As for tapioca - don't think I've had it since I was at school - when I ate everyone elses on the table!!!

Carol, if we'd been at school together , we could have been 'dinner buddies' LOL (I eat what you hate)

Tripe with salt and vinegar and tomatoes......... delishhhhhhhhh

Although havent had it in awhile.........

Tripe and onions simmered in milk........
Very difficult to get tripe nowadays (like whole beef hearts)
My sister & I are determined to serve tripe & onions to my SIL, who is head chef at a posh hotel!!!
..maybe next 'family holiday', we'll get him!

Maggie you have just reminded me of childhood nightmares, OH and I were only talking about it a few weeks ago.

School dinners must have been why I hated school so much. When it neared dinner time you could smell it arriving on what was an open lorry, with as I remember vats of food on, depending if you were first or last in line potatoes would either be mash or uncooked, we would find flies or bits of wood in the cabbage, and of course the dreaded tapioca and stuffed hearts.

My OH can remember children actually being sick, and putting food in a hanky to smuggle out. You were not allowed out in playground till you had eaten it all, hence I never had playtime.

Maggie you would have been my bestest buddie you could have had it all lol
Carol

I was tucking into my "Foamy Bananas"....same as the penny banana sweets of old but renamed by the C**P (not the best name lol).
Anyway,roughly the same ingredients but not...

Halal approved,so it makes you wonder where they get their beef gelatine from???

Ewwww, I should not have read this....runs to shout for Hughie lol
