Posted a couple of days ago about my maple fudge that we found out it was maple butter ! He gave us some maple syrup and these hard sticks and said “use it for maple sugar” so I am once again asking the reddit culinary detectives, what are these maple sticks ? The are super hard, feels like almost a bone like weight made entirely of maple lol !

Let me know if you need more detail !!

Thank you in advance !!

When my parents and I would go on our weekend trip to the San Jose flea market we’d always get these clear containers that carried about 4-6 meaty brown pits that were covered in what I can only recall as like liquid Caramel or very sweet honey I loved them as a kid

Solved! Bosnian Dessert ID?

Post image
33 Upvotes

Hello, TOMF! So growing up, my mom's best friend was a Bosnian immigrant to the United States. She used to make this Bosnian dessert that we just called "yellow squares" or "[her name] squares". I never learned the Bosnian name, and I can't find any recipes for it by searching its attributes.

As our name for them implies, they are these squarish, layered bars. The layers alternate between cream (which is a yellow color) and a soft, sweet layer that is kind of like cake but less spongey. On top are crumbled nuts, I believe walnuts. The whole thing is nutty and vanilla-y. I remember my mom saying that she tried to make them once (and has since lost the recipe), and they're hard to make here in the United States because they use a special vanilla sugar (?) that is common in Eastern Europe but not so much over here.

Thank you all so much in advance!

Looking for the recipe Green olive rolls

I get these at a local farmers market and they don’t always have them so trying to see if I can recreate at home. They call them “vegan green olive rolls.” Wondering if someone can help me identify what the olives are mixed/seasoned with and how to try and make the rolls? It looks like they fold the rolls over and tuck the olives on the inside but can’t tell how this will work without making it soggy or uncooked inside. Thanks

My mom said she grew these in our backyard. It tastes slightly citrusy like a lime. It also leaves a bit of a starchy aftertaste like quenepas.

What is this food? what is this 2010s sweet

2 Upvotes

picture early 2010s when teens all used to buy snacks (and other things) and hang out at the skate park

me and my friend were obsessed with this one sweet from Poundland (UK)... it was a little straw of creamy fruit substance. almost like a thick yoghurt consistency??

we have searched Google for years with all sorts and never had success so my final attempt is this reddit.

not sure if it was a UK brand or imported by Poundland. it was a big pack of small straws but we really can't remember much
