Eat with your Eyes: Mischer Root Beer
Root Beer is one of those strange American flavors. Part licorice and sassafras and part wintergreen - it tastes like a muscle rub smells. These bonbons look like little barrels. POSTED BY Cybele AT 8:17 am Candy • Featured News • Fun Stuff • Photography • Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Choward’s Guava
This new version is called simply Tropical Candy. It’s not a mint at all, more of a little treat with no breath freshening powers. The package is the same weird salmon pink of guava flesh and mid-fifties tiled bathrooms.
The best thing about them, as far as I’m concerned, is their stack-ability. They’re stable. Dependable. The same on both sides. I’m not a guava fan. If it’s in a fruit salad, I pick around it. I’m not even keen on the musky flavor it imparts by proximity. So I wasn’t really looking forward to these. They smell tropical, like pineapple and orange blossoms. Or a Tommy Bahama store. They’re tangy and fruity, the flavor is a mix of melon and pineapple for those who have never had guava before. For those who have had guava, it’s authentic enough though a bit more tart. The texture is smooth. Since they’re made with sugar and not dextrose they have a very sweet note to them with a strong honey-fruity finish. On the whole, they’re better than I expected and they’re certainly different from other candies on the market (as are all of Choward’s offerings). They’re not minty but still leave my mouth feeling fresh (like a tropical green iced tea will); they’re not quite tangy and flavorful enough to compete with SweeTarts. Related Candies
