kraft fantasy fudge has marshmallow cream/fluff in it. the part of upstate ny i lived in served pb/fluff sandwiches in the cafeteria. fried bread in every part of the US i've been to is more like dough that's deep fried aka elephant ears (i think a canadian friend said she called them beaver tails) Way, way back when I was a young child, on bread making day my mother would always save some bread dough and deep fry it and then roll it in a sugar/cinnamon mix for us.That was as close to a doughnut as we got. That was a big time treat for us.

Yup! I've got one kid who will slather peanut butter, Nutella, cookie butter, strawberry jam and banana slices together for his ultimate peanut butter/jelly sandwich. He'll eat it on white crustless bread, hot dog buns and tortillas, too. Crazy kids! Lol! My daughter won't put peanut butter and jelly together. Go figure. She will eat them separate. I loved peanut butter and honey sandwiches as a kid. Yum. My 5 year old loves peanut butter & honey sandwiches, but won't touch jelly at all. My 12 year old has no interest in peanut butter & jelly, either. He likes peanut butter & banana.

Maybe I can find it now I know what it looks like. I don't even remember what recipe wanted it. ? I think there was a recipe for fudge that had Marshmallow Fluff as an ingredient? Yes, my mother's fudge recipe uses Fluff.

I agree. I am 49 and took a peanut butter on white sandwich bread sandwich to school most days. It was alternated with Vegemite and cheese We love our pumpkin here but always savoury and never sweet. The thought of pumpkin in a can makes me want to heave. Then when I read the Thanksgiving threads with marshmallows on top of pumpkin pie... Ive never seen biscuits and gravy, grits or chicken fried steak here.
You've got it a little mixed up. At American Thanksgiving it's marshmallows baked on top of sweet potatoes. This is served as a side dish with the main meal. Pumpkin pie is a traditional Thanksgiving dessert. It might have nothing on top or it might have whipped cream on top. Ah yes you are right, it is the sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top - still horrifying to me LOL. pumpkin in a can seem horrid because we have a year round plentiful supply of pumpkins of all kinds and I just don't like canned anything other than tomatoes. I like fresh

We had friends from Scotland visit and they'd never tried maple candy. Hated them. They were intrigued by sweet potatoes. Hated them. They'd never had fudge. Loved it. They became addicted to Mountain Dew.
And the one thing she asked me to get was Candy Corn. They couldn't wait to try it. And then they thought it tasted like fudge.

From Scotland and never had fudge? Is yours very different from ours then? Recipe here. I thought everybody's granny made fudge here, including different flavours. We currently have Kola Kube, Cookies and cream, Chocolate and Peanut Butter and Jaeger Bomb flavours on sale in the shop. These are commercially made and not a patch on home made unfortunately. Sweet potatoes are common here. I hate them too! Mountain Dew - you mean the soda in the greenish bottle? It's available here but not very popular in our area. I've had maple syrup (we have that in the shop too, for pouring on ice cream) but not maple candy and I've seen photos of candy corn but never tried it. (I do keep a small variety of "American" sweeties in the shop, Hershey bars, Reeces, Marshmallow Fluff, Lucky Charms etc.)

There's also a shop in Padstow that sells nothing but different kinds of fudge....a fudge paradise. We also had some delicious Welsh Fudge when we were there on holiday once too.

I've put on half a stone just through reading this thread.
As far as I am concerned there is only one way to eat both Peanut Butter and Nutella, and that is straight from the jar, with a spoon.
Poutine looks very much like chips with cheese and gravy which is considered a hangover cure in Sheffield.

I've never had chips with cheese and gravy but that's not to say I've never had a hangover

Oh for goodness sake, will you and gar stop going on about Devon clotted cream fudge, Welsh fudge and a fudge paradise shop! Now I really, really want some good fudge.....and all I've got is two squares of vanilla fudge in a Thornton's bag!! There's also a shop in York which makes very tasty homemade fudge in every possible flavour, and the local Northumbrian fudge is delicious! I need a trip down to York, or across to the farm shop!!

peanut butter is not a bing thing were I am in Germany but I see it in the stores every so often. On that list I only eat peanut butter, pumpkin pie and root beer floats (well, once in a while when I was little, hot dogs would fall under that too.)

We certainly have peanut butter, but we don't have the obsession with it like in the US. Generally, we don't do peanut butter biscuits, peanut butter lollies, peanut butter ice-cream etc. It's used for sandwiches and maybe toast. A lot of the stuff on the list looks pretty gross, although my eldest could eat his weight in jelly!

Peanut butter has been a staple in my house growing up since the early 80's, but not for us to eat- my dad would feed badgers with it when he was getting photographs of them!!
My children don't like it at all. They aren't even keen on Nutella !
Now marmite is a regular on my shopping list! Not just scraped in toast, but I love it on plain toasted bread under poached eggs.

I like fresh Pumpkin here only refers to one specific type of what we call squash - the round orange kind. I'm not sure why it, specifically, is sold pureed and canned. Other types (acorn, butternut, delicata, etc.) are generally only available fresh and are not used in pies. I've made pumpkin pie with both fresh and canned pumpkin and didn't notice a big difference. Traditional pumpkin pie is really a more of custard flavored with pumpkin, and to me, the spices used, not the pumpkin itself, are the dominant flavor.

Can only say I'm surprised that your friends were from Scotland and had never tasted fudge! This was in 2001--they were here during 9/11. We had fudge at a county fair which she said was very "Steel Magnolias." I was more surprised that they thought that candy corn tasted like fudge than the fact that they'd never had fudge! They bought all kinds of candy bars and pop that they'd heard of from TV and movies--and said they'd never had Mountain Dew before. I do know that they drank it like it was going out of style. The maple candy was abhorrent to them . You'd have thought I'd given her a piece of poop to eat.

What about peanut butter fudge, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter pie, peanut butter frosting/filling, and don't they have peanut butter chips like chocolate chips.
