[MR] period marshmallows

[Sandi Rust]

I may consider trying these. I am always apt to try anything new as I am a very adventurous eater. The reason I don't like marshmallows or candied yams (I do love sweet potatoes or yams not candied) is because they are too sweet for my tastes.

Ah, but have you tried period marshmallows, the original items, not the blobs of sugar and corn syrup (or whatever they are) you find in today's stores?

:-)  and if you do find a source, please tell me, as I'd like to make and try them.
