Tan Sugar

The jar in the church office is almost always filled with carmel cubes, probably because these are the remnants of other better candy choices chosen mainly by the preferences of our beloved Vineyard staff peoples.

Anyway I went on a rant the other day about carmels while Jonathan was finishing up some work. I've decided that there are 3 forms of this candy, and that each form goes by it's own name:



Carmel: a solid cube of tan sugar.
Caramel: thicker version of tan sugar, used in such candy bars like Twix and Snickers.
Caramelle: the more liquidy form of tan sugar, usually used as ice cream topping or as the filling in a Caramello bar.

Now, you know.

  2. This post reminds me of the animated finger that touches the caramel curl in the Whatchamacallit commercial. "Chhheeewwy caramel... how's it go?"
