    None, I thought I hated beets until I had some grilled.

    Not really. One type of candy I just don't understand the existence of are those marshmallow-like bananas; absolutely disgusting. I still vote rose water as the devil of sweets. Who would even come to think of using that in a dessert let alone drink it as it is? :no:

    Marshmallow bananas? Never heard of those before. Is that a Swedish thing? :D

    I also am not crazy for Peeps or Candy Corn.

    Not really? Yes, really. :D Lots of them actually, at least here in the States. There are rows and rows and rows of candies.

    Slow roasted barbequed pork , then pulled and served with fresh Cole slaw is pretty ok.

    Might be. There is also a variant where the "marshmallow-banana" is dipped in chocolate and that one is poison.

    We do not have any of those here.

    There are craploads of candies here too and liquorice is one of the more reasonable candies. :)

    Lame. Haven't you ever had Starburst? They put licorice to shame!

    I love pulled pork. I like pork roast too. And stuffed pork chops and ground pork for meatballs mixed with hamburger.

    There are some stores that sell American candy here, I guess they have Starburst on their shelves. I never visited one and all I can say is that it is not to be found in "normal stores". Looks like some kind of fruity type of sweet chemical though. Probably tastes great. :D

    They taste awesome, and when I'm looking to eat candy, I'm not all that concerned about how healthy it is! :laughing:

    Skittles, taste the Rainbow!

    That just makes you human. Only Godless heathens like black licorice; the Dutch love it though; but I'm not Dutch.

    It is pretty common for people to dislike liquorice. In fact, the only people on Earth who seem to like it are the Nordic people and the Dutch. The highest rate of liquorice-lovers is found in Finland, I would say. They even have liquorice flavoured chocolate. :)

    I like my candy to be sweet and sugary. That is what candy is all about! :D

    I had a Butterfinger last night. I haven't had one in a while and it was delicious! :D

    The only problem with the Butterfinger is that it gets stuck in your teeth REALLY bad. Like cement in your teeth, so you have to brush your teeth really well after you eat one of those.

    My son likes sour candy too. I never understood that. Lol. I find myself always wishing it was sweet instead.

    No, I hate them actually. :bleh: I don't understand why people like candy like that. Why not just eat a lemon?

    I don't like sesame seeds.

    For me it ruins a bun, and there's this

    The trick is to eat it slowly and savor it, one bite at a time. Ya don't chew it. Ya just let each bite gradually melt in your mouth down to almost nothing and then swallow the little chips that still remain. No chewing = no cement on the teeth. :wink:
