Marshmellows

[Aeryn]

I like them, do you like them?

They are yummy.

[Mirahzi]

They're fun for a while.. but then they get your hands sticky.

[Duddun]

I LOVE MARSHMELLOWS!But if i eat too many i get really hyper and pass out.

[Elven Archer]

I looovvve marshmallows! and the marshmallow cream stuff. They're especially good in cocoa or roasted. and on smores. we had a dog that loved marshmallows. everytime we'de roast marshmallows we'd have to buy some extra bags cause he'd always take a bag and eat em all

[Hanza]

Its MarshmAllows not marshmEllows!!
At least it is here. Our way looks better.
Neway I adore marshmAllows. They used to be a regular on our shopping list. until my mum realised how many i ate alone!
Toasting them on a fire is the best way to have them!:p

[Elven Archer]

At least it is here where's here?

[Hanza]

cold,wet,dark England

[Elven Archer]

well in America i spell it marshmallows but i say it marshmellows.

[Hanza]

weird stuff languages. I wonder what marshmallows is in places in germany and france

[Radagast The Brown]

I like marshmallows. They are nice.

Here we say Marshmello. probably a bad translation from english. :p

[Miranda]

Marshmallows? Brings back memories of toasting them round the camp fire at patrol camp with the guides. When they got really gooey we'd hurl them at eachother and end up with sticky stuff in our hair which we had to try and wash out in the buckets that served for basins!!! It was so much fun! Mx

[HOBBIT]

I like them too. Too bad they are made of boiled bone ligaments, cow + pig hoolves, etc. gelatin main ingrediant. What did you think that was? :p Slightly yellow transparent jiggly subtance.... jell-o is that plus added flavor and color.

This bothered me for a few months - then i got over it. After all, we eat beef and chicken, etc.

[Elven Archer]

I thought they were made from the marshmallow plant.

[HOBBIT]

no. i think maybe originally they were, hence the name. but definately not now. look up marshmallow in the dictionary.

[Elven Archer]

is glue made out of horse hooves?

[HOBBIT]

Yeah kosher marshmallows are made out of fish. I looked at the package of kosher marshmallows once.

[Khadrane]

I like marshmallows, but I can't eat too many of them too fast fast, or else I don't feel so good.:( I LOVE marshmallow cream!

I think I'll skip my chocolate beverage with hoof-topping this evening. Blech.

It certainly used to be........hoofs, bones etc boiled down to produce glue......I think a lot of glues are synthetically manufactured now.

[galadriel88]

marsh·mal·low n.
1. a. A light, spongy, very sweet confection made of corn syrup, gelatin, sugar, and starch and dusted with powdered sugar.
b. A confection of sweetened paste, formerly made from the root of the marshmallow plant.
-Dictionary.com

Ahem. :) They are not made of boiled bone ligaments or cow or pig hooves, and gelatin is not the main ingredient. Unless I am mistaken, it's corn syrup or sugar.

What did you think that was?

Almost pure sugar with a little bit of gelatin, actually, because they melt in your mouth. :)

Oh, and I think they're delicious, but I can't eat too many at a time or I'll get sick.

[HOBBIT]

gelatin is a main ingrediant. look at a package of marshmallows and even that definition. look up gelatin ;)

[BeardofPants]

G88, what do you think gelatin is? I can tell you with some certainty that marshmallows aren't vegetarian friendly.

I think I'm gonna be sick..... Now I have another food I can't eat. :rolleyes: Oh, well, I still have chocolate. Chocolate is OK, isn't it? Pretty please???

[BeardofPants]

Most chocolate is okay, but some have certain additives that aren't veggie friendly. It's great isn't it? :rolleyes:

[Firekitten2006]

Chocolate is awesome!!! I *luv* chocolate!! lol

Marshmallows, the filling of Twinkies and a lot of other things come from animal fat :) great huh?

Glue is NOT made out of horse hooves anymore! Hellooooooo PETA would be all over the place!

[Elven Archer]

they're not all over jell-o and marshmallows. or are they??

[Coney]

They do actually wait until the horses are dead before they boil the remains down:rolleyes: .........nobody goes around lopping the hoofs off for the sake of a pot of paste.

[Duddun]

Dang...That knocks glue and Marshmallows off my eating list.

[BeardofPants]

So... You eat glue? :p

[Duddun]

Yah, whats wrong with that?
Rubber Cement is the best! Anyone else tried that one?

Let me think................................no

Although I can think of a few people who would benefit from a little jaw-to-jaw adhesive:p

*lol@Ralph*

[Duddun]

I first tried it when my teacher told me to glue my lips together*jokingly i later found out*.

[Claenoic]

PIG HOOVES!?!?! LEMME AT 'EM!! *Starts chewing on one.*

Not kidding. Those things are tasty... ah, Korean cooking...:D

Marshmallows are good for eating, hot chocolate, toasting, squishing and throwing up at the ceiling and making them stick and/or mashing into relation's hair. Glorious marshmallows...:D

[Varda Oiolosseo]

I love the tiny ones in Hot Chocolate with whipped cream and then they start to melt and go all gooey and lovely!!!

i don't particually like them on their own though since i ate too many!!

I tried toasting them before and then one caught fire! It was quite funny actually!! :D

[Elven Archer]

me and my friend were roasting marshmallows and hers caught on fire and then she flung it off the stick.it was pretty funny. and this is kinda off the subject but it was the same friend. i was popping popcorn over the stove in an old pop corn popper and i had all but one kernal popped so I held it still for a split second and i guess it was just too hot cause all of a sudden it burst into flames and so the whole basket full of popcorn was on fire and then while we were trying to get it to the sink it almost got the cabinets on fire. anyway they were both really funny at the time.

[Elenka]

ooh, one time my mom forgot to put the lid on the pot she was popping popcorn in! I walked into the kitchen, and little flying fiery popcorn comets were zooming all over the kitchen. It was cool.

That stuff we were saying earlier about glue and horses and dead horses? True, they wait until the horse is dead before lopping the hooves off or whatever, but do you have any idea how animals are killed in those factories? Believe me it ain't nice, painless, or pretty. You can PM me for details, but I don't really think you'd want to know...:(

[Firekitten2006]

i didnt honestly think that they run around cutting the hooves off of horses lol

btw *love* your avartar! lol wonder how many horse freaks there are around here.

You have factories for the slaughter of horses?.......in the UK animals that are knackered go to a aboitour then the carcass is sold off (usually to a dog/cat food manufacturer, check out the "official" igredients of most popular domestic pet foods) at least we are still more civilised than continental europe where they still eat horse-steaks. blech.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that only a horse with a Vets certificate (saying that it should be put to death) can go to an aboitour.

[Duddun]

Ewww. Now my cats are gonna starve cause I won't feed them dead horse hooves.
How did this get from marshmallows to Horses dieing for cat food?

[Elven Archer]

i just drank a nice hot cup of chocholate with boiled bone ligaments.

[Firekitten2006]

Sounds yummy :) maybe that should be on the Hershey's hot coco comericials :)

[Blackboar]

I didn't know that!
I like putting marshmellows in gravy! They taste really nice!
I f you havn't already, you should try it!!

I also like marshmellows in T Ketchup. It tastes like Tomato
soup with sugar in!!!

[Aeryn]

gelatin, the one they use for food, is made out of plant extracts. Alas, those PETA fruitloops fowl something else up.


This is off topic but interesting. In the newpaper 2 mts. ago this guy was arrested for microwaving his girlfriends dog (OW) and now PETA are asking for life imprisonment w/o parole (sp), is that even ...well...logical/ rational?

Since when has it been against the law to prepare exotic food?
;) (j/k)

Sounds like life imprisonment is a bit of an overkill here.........maybe the guy would benefit more from some good psychiatric help.

Edit: had a mild slip of racial stereotyping:eek:

[Coney]

Ah well, at least you've made me keep the post semi-politically correct........probably a first for me:D

[Aeryn]

Coney, I crack "racial" jokes all the time, guess who tells me them? My "racial" friends. I hate when people take it personally. :( That's why I thought my comment was funny. Fooled you! I'm evil.

I think he should proabbly give his girlfriend restituition and all that good law garble. but he needs to have some punishment. 5 yrs. parole. Community service in an animal shelter!

Honestly, it is nice!!

[Elven Archer]

nope. but i have tried marshmallows with sweet potatoes. Marshmallows in ketchup doesn't sound like something i'd like. neither does tomato soup with sugar. i don't even like crackers in my tomato soup. i like sugar and butter on rice though. have you ever tried fries dipped in a Wendy's frosty? that's really good.

Can you provide a source for this information? As the Vegetarian Society (http://www.vegsoc.org/info/stumbling.html) has gelatin listed as one of the stumbling blocks. It mentions nothing about gelatin being made out of plant extracts.

[Celandine]

I like marshmallows

[Lubyla]

I dont eat jello, marshmellos, some whiped cream, and other things wth Jeliton(sp) in it, I can get past the fact of horse/cow feet being the main ingrediant, plus my dad makes stupid sounds like "Moo" or "Neigh" When I eat it, one reson I'm vegitarian.

[Hanza]

Marshmallows are great whatevers in 'em.

[Millane]

hahahahah all this talk has made me recall the "serial pest" that jumped out infront of horses at the melb cup because he thought the horses that didnt win were going to the abbatoirs:rolleyes:
i dont really care what part of an animal im eating if i dont know, and sometimes if i do and it tastes good... hahahaha try an aust pie:p

[frodosgirlfriend]

If you eat off the powdery part of the mashmellow then toast the gooey it'll turn into a little asteroid thing :D.

LOL, that serial pest is totally crazy, although I don't really support whips used in horse racing. I would never again eat a meat pie, I have heard of really disgusting things they put into them. :eek:

[Millane]

:eek: your not eating pies:eek: but footy season is in again:o
Collingwood vs Carlton!!!:D what a game to start off with YAY!!!

[BeardofPants]

Forget about what they put into pies. What about what they put in the pastry! Isn't it like half LARD? :eek:

[Andúril]

Mmmm pies. Steak pies. Steak and kidney pies. Chicken pies. Pepper steak pies. Mmmmm. :)

Marshmallows are okay, but only when roasted over a fire outdoors.

[Hanza]

chicken pies rule!

[Bunnie_Queen_1146]

marshmellows are the BEST!!!!!:D :D :p :D :D :p

[Evenstar1400]

i like to put marshmellows in the fire and watch them
EXPLODE!!!!!

[Varda Oiolosseo]

eeeew i don't like Marshmellows!
The texture is wierd.
To me it's like eating a pillow! (that sound's really wierd, but then i'm wierd!) :p it's the texture and the look of them.

[Baby-K]

I'll have marshmallows plain, but I hate when they've been roasted on a fire ugh. Mind you I don't eat most things that other people seem to like (doughnuts, peanut butter, chocolate - except choc body paint - chocolate cake, pies from shops, kiwi fruit, bananas and the list goes on & on) so yeah, ok *stupid train of thought sped off before I could board completely*

[Bunnie_Queen_1146]

have you ever put them into the mircrowave i have heard its good that way.
