    Old people sweets for certain, I really like neco wafers. I enjoy chalky candies and ones I can suck on the most, yes I like licorice, otherwise my favorite treat is cowboy bread. I can't wait to make it for my man, he's never had any the goober

      Cowboy bread?!?! Yeee-haw!! Saddle 'em up boys, the herds comin' back early this spring. Yessiree.
      Sounds good though. I would put little pellets of shot in the bread mix, so when you eat it, it's like eating an animal that got shot by a shotgun - like how a cowboy would. And then....except it's bread
      yeah nah thats probably a dumb idea

      kbye :)

        Haha yea bad idea, I first had it at school(ikr? They actually made Some thing good haha) but it's more of a cinnamony cake with yummy crumb stuff on top instead of frosting. It's so bloody delicious! You should try It! Don't mistake it for monkry bread though. So many do. It's not round it's well whatever shape your pan is but generally rectangular about 2 inches in height

          Delicious! I love cinnamony type stuff, it's the best hey. Now, don't think I'm a stupid-face (ahh it's ok I am) but I had honestly never heard of this cowboy bread you speak of until now, so I had to look it up. Yaknow, just to make sure your story checks out lol ;) And yeah, it sounds very delish though from your descripsh.

          And I only ever heard of monkey bread in the tv show "rectify", so that must be something similar is it? But not the same.

          Hey are you in the US? Cos they don't seem to have any of these crazy monkey and cowboy breads down here (austral -e a). Closest we got's...bananabread. But everyone's had a go on that old thing.
          Do you like carrot cake by the way? Just a sidenote just wondering.

            I am in the u.s yes, um no they are very different just everyone thinks they are the same thing for some reason. I don't understand why. Omg I love banana bread! Carrot cake is delicious! Only problem I'm allergic to carrots. It's super butts 2 cause I rather enjoy carrots and I can't say that about many vegetables. That's super butts you guys don't have these over tgere, you should totally make some and blow everyone's mind away

              Yeah that's a great idea actually, I'll be like the first person ever to introduce cowboy bread and monkey bread here and everyone will be like "OMG what is this magical breadeth of thine makings?" (cos they talk liek that here) and I'll start a business and it'll be mad! Hell yeah.

              But seriously I saw slotsa recipes so I should try make it one time. Just gotta make sure I dont get my monkeys and my cowboys mixed up (imagine...monkeys riding horses and cowboys swinging through trees, that's just silly. Who would even think of that? so dumb). That does suck poop about your carrot allergy. Haa...the one vegetable that's actually nice, and it only wants to destroy you.... How ironic.

              Okay, you really need to stop ranting so much, why do you do it?? ranting weirdo kbye

      They's all good - caramello koalas are freaking awesome. Not sure if you had this too, but I just remember there was always like one kid at school selling the big caramellos at lunch time, raising money for some club or whatever. That was always good (until bullies tried to jack em).

    I love candy, but I love ice creams too. I dunno which one to choose...*falls into endless, painful struggle*

    I really don't know the English name of my favorite candy. Anyways, I love marshmallows, I love jelly drops, and I would enjoy basically all candies in the world.

    I like milk chocolate and white chocolate. They are awesome. I'm not allowed to have much of them though. I'm rarely allowed to have any sweets.

    I love ice creams. Any flavor, but I especially favor the Oreo flavored ones and the Three-colored Marshmallow flavored ones (bad translation).

    And, I hate liquorice. Are there actually anyone who likes liquorice? I suppose there are, or they won't be producing this stuff at all.

    A friend of mine had an activity in her English lesson last year, where they send gifts to American kids and American kids send gifts to them. Once the Americans sent them some sweets, and everyone got a piece of black liquorice.

    ...And no one likes it.

    She saw others eating it and knew that it doesn't taste good at all. So she came and gave it to me...

    I took a bite...

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

        How come all the restaurants state cake on the menu? Technically you're right as it comes out of a pie shell.

    Gelato or a concrete/blizzard is usually safe. Some places make a great chocolate chip cookie as well.

      Oooh....bit controversial, interesting! One score for the negative licorice camp.
      Thanks for saying black licorice too, cos I forgot to say that. I was thinking of black, but I forgot there's a pretty big difference between black and red (I think those are the only two flavours aren't they?).

      But yeh, chocolate = classic. Nice work. Can't trust people who don't have a weakness for it.

    Dark chocolate. It actually can have some kind of secondary benefit.

      That's true. It's why I eat 3 packets of dark chocolate and 2 + 1/2 bottles of red wine a day. Good for you.
      but nah seriously it does have good stuff in there, as well as deliciousgoodfeelnice

    And anyone that picks licorice is clearly a sosciopath and needs to be shot at once.

        Sociopath was an uncorrected typo and both licorice and liquorice are correct.

    I love a nice pav with kiwi fruit or marie balls.

    The most delicious thing in the world tho as far as sweet things is a passion fruit straight from the vine. I used to steal those all the time as a kid.

    I like my sweets like i like my woman. Cold, bitter, and sour. any sour candy, the more sour the better. I love all ice cream except intense chocolates.

    Mint choc chip ice cream.
    As for sweets, midget gems, parma violets, sports mixture, cherry lips & floral gums. Wham bars & turkish delight are nice as well. Liquorice alsorts good, liquorice sticks not so good.

    Eton mess (fresh strawberries, broken meringue pieces & whipped double cream) is to die for this time of year.

    As an American I just love it when Brits start talking about sweets for some reason. Ice cream is my jam. I love so many flavors, but not really a fan of chunks of things in it.

        I suppose it could be other euro or maybe Aussie or kiwi? I don't know the exact spelling and vernacular differences between countries but definitely not American. That doesn't change the fact that hearing/seeing brits talk about sweets is fantastic.

          It's actually an Aussie BUT when I was writing it, in my head I was imagining I was British. So if you thought maybe I was a Britisher...a Briton..a brexit or whatever they call themselves, you were probably picking up the vibe I was pudding* out.

          *Thas just a lil dessert pun.
