Marzipan.
A key ingredient in Simnel cake and delicious dipped in batter and deep-fried.
Maybe just sliced up and eaten alone, in front of a good film, after a hard week.
Just don't ask how many calories in a mouthful (millions!).
Not on its own - nice on fruit cake though.
Yes - love it. Not on it's own... although I had marzipan ice cream once and that was lush. :lickface:
Is marzipan what they put in bakewell tarts? I like them! cool
Marzipan.
It has the taste of a blown goat.
It is of the ilk of Marmite. It is wrong. It is so sweet it makes my teeth itch and what is with that weird crunchiness from something soft? It's too confusing for me. I don't like sweeties that lie. Turkish delight is another? It looks so red and succulent, and you bite into it and it's like eating a forty day old Salmon Paste sandwich.
Ginger's another! Ginger Nuts? Why? Gingerbread I can tolerate as it kind of pretends it isn't a sweetie, but Ginger Nuts (The biscuits, I don't mean the pubic outcroppings of the flame haired fraternity) are just wrong.
But worse than anything, are Parma Violets. The only sweet that tastes worse than something a Doctor would only give you if you had lumps growing hairs out of your tonsils and your head was spinning 360 degrees. They could be used as potential deterrents for young people. Instead of detention, they have to eat 5 tubes of Parma violets every hour for a week.
Behave? They'd be frightened not to.
Sorry... I got carried away. I'll shut up now.

How do you know ??? dunno
Trial and error.
There used to be a chocolate bar, if memory serves, the wrapper was yellow, the chocolate that covered it was dark chocolate, and there was two bars to a wrapper.
Love it beyond reason!

And I only thought of Newman and Baddiel when you said that.

We were destined for eachother. I positively insist you have my babies. wink
I like it in small amounts on fruit cakes
Love almonds, but was put off trying them for years as I expected them to taste like marzipan :crazy:
I hate marzipan and only use it myself in a thin layer on Christmas cake. It means I don't eat the icing so that can only be a good thing.
As for Turkish delight, I quite like the lemon one but the pink one tastes like perfume, as do parma violets, but I like them dunno
HATE IT
can't say no more than that
ewwwwwwwwwwwwww it is sooo wrong
I love the stuff. In Aldi's they sell a rum and raisin marzipan bar covered in dark chocolate :lickface:
I'm really not keen on marzipan, generally speaking. However give me a mile of stollen to feast on … Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
It's so addictive. :lickface:
Love it. Mini battenburg cakes mmmmmmmmm
Oh my god! I LOVE marzipan! My mam used to buy me it, just to eat it on it's own. For some reason, I used to get a thing for it when Whole Again by Atomic Kitten came on the TV and now whenever it comes on, it reminds me of my marzipan - yum yum :lickface:
