In English we call it "Marshmallow".
We call it the same in Canada! That's crazy!
Same in American!
Same in Albanian Sign Language!
Get oot. That can't be right.
What a mysterious and beautiful language.
I mean, “marshmallow” has a more interesting derivation than most of the other words I’ve seen so far.
I find this really interesting especially considered I never gave much thought to how they were produced. I guess I assumed they were just sugar and some other common ingredients.
I don't think modern marshmellows contain any marsh mellow. They are usually just water, sugar and gelatine. They are easy to make at home, fun project if you have kids
TIL.
