Jan. 25th, 2002 07:53 pmIn Australia, they have these two candy bars, Violet Crumble and Crunchie. They're both "honeycomb" (this vaguely honey-flavored crunchy stuff. The closest comparison I've heard is to Astronaut Ice Cream) covered with chocolate. Every so often a fight breaks out on this mailing list I'm on over which one is better.
They happen to have a section of English/Aussie foods at our local grocery store. Why, I'm not entirely sure. The demand for vegemite, salad cream, and mushy peas can't be all that high. In any case, they carry both bars, so I decided to try them and decide for myself which is better.
(Actually, I've tried Violet Crumble before, but not Crunchie. Violet Crumble has a much more interesting name. Not that it has anything whatsoever to do with violets - it isn't purple, and doesn't taste like them (there is a candy that tastes like violets, though. Odd stuff, but kind of good.))
(Random side note: I'm apparently remembering random Hebrew words and trying to insert them into sentences. This is really odd, since I've never learned Hebrew.)
Neither of them really appeals to my taste, but I'd have to say that Violet Crumble is the more appealing of the two. Crunchie has more flavor, but the texture is strange. I'm wondering if mine may have been a bit off, because the honeycomb part was strange.
I'm trying to figure out what it is that the honeycomb is textured like. There's some other candy with a similar material, and I can't remember what it is. Why can I remember random Hebrew words, but not something that I've eaten before (and, I think, recently)? Arg...why can't I remember? *beats head against wall*
Malted Milk Balls...that's it. Figured out after doing a web search, and finding a site that says it tastes like you're eating a malted ball candy bar. Which is accurate, except that it's honey flavored instead of malt flavored. The texture is the same, though. The Crunchie bar reminded me of some malted milk balls I had that had gone stale or something, which is why I wondered if I'd gotten an off one.
This entry rivals my "ocelot is weird" entry in stupidity.

Jan. 25th, 2002 09:11 pmI like my glasses.
Maybe I should try wearing them in public sometime.
I have this vague fear that people will look at me funny, like I'm not really supposed to be wearing glasses. That's stupid, though. I'm allowed to wear whatever I want.
