    just picture yourself eating a marshmallow covered in granulated sugar. That's a "peep".

    not my favorite treat . . .:puke1

    Peeps factory is pretty close to my home:

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Good description. I don't eat them...too sweet. But they are colorful.
    Thanks for the links.

    For the moment I can't plan my trip to the States.
    I wish to go and see the canyons...
    Before the States I want to go to South India.
    Thank you for the tip.

    I bet if you really want to try them and ask nicely next april someone could send you a box. i'm pretty sure they won't go stale in shipping.

    granted after you try one, you're probably going to ask yourself why they're so popular. As I'll agree with wholenewlight, they're not my favorite treat either.

    If that sweet corresponds - and I am pretty sure it does - to what John W described as "just picture yourself eating a marshmallow covered in granulated sugar. That's a "peep" I think I could taste one and no more.
    Too sweet would be the reason.
    You just gave me an ideia which is the sequence of another I have:

    I am going to photograph a sweet from the Algarve - the South of Portugal - which are wellknown as very good.
    They really are because they are made of almonds.
    I think they belong to a tradition of sweets cooked by the Arabs when they were here, some 800 years ago.

    Of course I do like them. They are not too sweet. You can eat 3 and that's enought.
    My mother in law used to cook by Cristhman and at home we called them as "The bombs" as they are very powerfull in sweet and make you fatter.
    I rarelly eat them to keep my shape thin and for the sake of higienic food.
    As you can see in my avatar I am thin and want to keep this way.


    On the other hand I want to photograph - and that will be tomorrow - the market in Setubal.
    Fresh fish, vegetables etc..
    Not like in Cambodia or Thailand but with a good presentation and higiene, the occidental way.

    The sweet from Algarve can't travel to the USA because they need to be refrigerated to travel. Well, that could be arranged as a matter of fact...

    In Setubal there was a sweet when there was orange fields which doesn't any more...
    But that, I'll tell you tomorrow.
    Please, be aware to my posts.

    Be Heathy.
