I do not have such strong feelings either way.

I like it, but I wouldn't miss it if it vanished from existence.

chocolates from Austria (I think?) with almond and pistacchio marzipan inside.

SpisaRibb said:

almond paste, I think.

I used to hate it, but I always wanted to eat the little fruit shaped ones. I ws always bitter when my mom & sister were enjoying it and I couldn't.

Now I like it okay.

paste of ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites, often colored and used to make small cakes or confections or as an icing for larger cakes

those marzipan fruits are so cute

ZombieKitten said:

I used to get tricked by those suckers! I'd be thinking it was some kind of fruity candy and then I bite into it and and my mom and dad and brother would laugh at me, 'cause they actually like the stuff. I always wondered why I was the only one who didn't.

But then again...they like liverwurst too.

i've never eaten marzipan.

For a friend's birthday we bought something called a Princess Cake, which is white cake, fruit between layers, and marzipan frosting.

The end result is something that looks like a Christmas decoration. But it was delicious!

I had some Marzipan when I was younger but realy didn't like it.
Haven't tried any since.

NDRU said:

was the marzipan green like this?

a real swedish princess cake has a lot of cream inside, with layers of sponge and a bit of raspberry jam. They have it at IKEA.

my parents were forever sending me to school with liverwurst and cucumber sandwiches, which forever found their way back home again

anyone tried these?

ZombieKitten said:

mmm yes it looked a lot like that, but I think there was white on the outside, too. It didn't have the spongy look of the almond paste; it was smooth outside.

and there was cream inside, too

NDRU said:

cool! you tried a swedish cake!

ZombieKitten said:

Poor you! Oh god, I think I'd rather starve than eat that shit (which is what liverwurst literally smells like).

scarred for life!

Why is George Washinton on those little candies?

i didn't even know about any egg white, but they're covered in milk chocolate.

i might get some for my husband, though. i live vicariously through him...

Ok enough about what's gross....

now THESE I LOVE. OMG they're so DELICIOUS! GAH!



I need to find a way to get them.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

ZombieKitten said:

IrresistibleB1tch said:

ZombieKitten said:
