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.

Quote:

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.

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

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.

Oh, well, I still have chocolate. Chocolate is OK, isn't it? Pretty please???

BeardofPants · 11-30-2002, 10:13 PM

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

Firekitten2006 · 11-30-2002, 11:24 PM

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

Marshmallows, the filling of Twinkies and a lot of other things come from animal fat

great huh?

They do actually wait until the horses are dead before they boil the remains down

.........nobody goes around lopping the hoofs off for the sake of a pot of paste.

Duddun · 12-01-2002, 12:43 AM

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

BeardofPants · 12-01-2002, 12:45 AM

So... You eat glue?

Duddun · 12-01-2002, 12:47 AM

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

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

*lol@Ralph*

Duddun · 12-01-2002, 01:04 AM

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

Claenoic · 12-01-2002, 04:32 PM

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

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

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...

Varda Oiolosseo · 12-01-2002, 07:06 PM

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!!

Elven Archer · 12-01-2002, 07:51 PM

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 · 12-01-2002, 08:29 PM

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 · 12-01-2002, 08:47 PM

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.

Well, hullo everyone. As you can see, I don't hang out here muchly anymore. There's a good reason for this. Y'see, I've been hanging out at a different chatboard called Cardboardia. So far, I've been havin' a blast. Not that I don't love the TLA, but the magic of Entmoot is lost on me. So, as soon as TLA ends, so will my existance here, probably. Who knows though? I might stay. Highly unlikely however. This is a good bye in advance, then. Unless you want to join me and my group of friends at Cardboardia. Cheers!
