| An "sweet" made out of rotten roots, which tastes like medicine and is sticky enough to pull out fillings ... sounds like an english recipe to me. |

Sugary-sticky medicine flavoured stuff made from a poisonous plant. It's the sort of thing I'd expect from a country with absolutely no food culture like the US. | | |
