On the weekend my mother came to visit, we went to the fishmarkets for lunch. Where are the photographs? The Batteries on the camera ran out, don't worry it wasn't very special anyway. But what was good was at the delicatsen, a jar sitting on the counter with long thin multi-coloured spongy stuff inside plastic bags. I looked at them from afar, then gave them a double take ( I can spot good food stuffs from 100 paces), are they really? OMG, They are!!! I jumped up and down. They are just like the way too cute french marshmallows my gorgeous friend Michele found in Paris!!!! Whilst it isn't a huge bag of bag of pastel fluffs , I did score a long Orange Blossom flavoured Marshmallow for $2.50. Yowsers that is expensive, but sometimes you have to fork out the big ones for new experiences ;)
So how did they taste? Sweet, Soft, Tender and like Orange Blossoms. Cool. Much better than boring old vanilla ;)

Hi Catesa
Maybe you need to make some?

What a fun treat. The orange flavor sounds yum! But Clare, I'm disappointed in you and your 100 paces--a true super foodie can just "feel" the presence of something yummy about a half a mile away! ; )

Yummy! Marshmallows always reminds me of campside fires where you toast them.

Hi Fg
Oh... sorry I am not up to scratch :(
Hi Boo
I was thinking the same thing! I think it would make great s'mores too!!
Hi Michele
I am so sure you can find way better ones in Paris! Yours were much prettier than mine. It was good I got to use your splurge as justification for mine ;)

Hi Clare - Orange blossom marshmallows sound great - I've never or heard of those before, guess I've been deprived, or is it depraved! :o)
I like the packaging....

Hi Kirk
Don't feel too bad, either had I til I saw them in the shop. You might think they taste a bit "girrly" :P

Hi Joe
The smell is intoxicating too!!!!

mmmm... yummy. I wonder if you can roast those over fire? Do you do that over there, or is that a States thing? Very nice find, indeed!

I'm not a huge marshmallow fan, save in S'mores and Rice Krispie Treats, but these do sound delectable...maybe melting around in a nice cup of hot chai?

Well, I wouldn't want to be a "girly-man" now would I!!!!
Posted by Kirk
Haha, you are also having battery issues as well? I lost my battery to my digital camera (during a druken bachelor party night). Anyhow, I like the packaging of the marshmallows - never seen anything like this before.

Hi Kristi
We certainly do roast them over here :) I think it might be possible with a slice, I wonder if the inside would have melted everywhere?
Hi Catherins
In Chai hmmm that could work quite well!!!
Hi Kirk
:P you will always be girrly to me :)
Hi Simon
Luckily they are just AA's but they take 8 hours to recharge! *sigh* Either had I, they are french of course!

I'm not a big marshmallow fan, but I've read that homemade ones taste astronomically better. Which are these more like?
Posted by Amy
Hi Amy
They are more like bought ones in texture, but the flavour is WAY better :)
I have made my own but not again til I get a mixer!!! :)
Posted by clare eats
ooh, posh marshmallows! irresistible...must be lovely in a mug of spiced hot chocolate...

Hi J

Posted by clare eats
