What we eat: Ten on ten...

Ten on ten...

Sorry this is late! We were away in Chester visiting friends so my Ten on ten comes all the way from there!

Here it is... Images from Chester

They think it looks cute and tastes awful. And I've never had an aniseed ball. I do love any licorice flavor thing though.; May 12, 2008 at 7:02 PM

Nicole said...: For some reason it is a cultural thing that many people don't like marzipan. It is funny. My friends in Italy love it too. You are so sweet to send the aniseed! I will email my address to you.; May 13, 2008 at 5:05 AM
Casey said...: such lovely photos for 10 on 10....and yum to marzipan! I haven't had any in forever. I can eat it until I'm sick!; May 13, 2008 at 10:43 AM
AMI said...: nicole do send me your address, it'd be fun to post you some sweets! yes it may be a european thing with marzipan, or maybe they only have the bright yellow plastercine stuff in the US which is really rotten - the real stuff is white and crumbly... mmm mmm...

casey i HAVE eaten it until i WAS sick, i used to live in Seville and at christmas they sell little marzipan fruit... i ate about 50 in a row... it wasn't pretty! My fav type of marzipan is in Italy though where they have balls of it dipped in chocolate...; May 13, 2008 at 10:48 AM
