Sherbet (powder)
Sherbet is a fizzy, sweet powder, usually eaten by dipping a lollipop or liquorice, using a small spoon, or licking it from a finger. Etymology The word "sherbet" is from Turkish ', which is from Persian , which in turn comes from "sharbat", Arabic ''sharbah'', ''a drink'', from "shariba" ''to drink''. The word is cognate to syrup in English. Historically it was a cool effervescent or iced fruit soft drink. The meaning, spelling and pronunciation have fractured between different countries. It is usually spelled "sherbet", but a common south of England pronunciation, using the intrusive 'r' changes this to "sherbert". History Beginning with the 19th century sherbet powder (soda powder) became popular.''Brausepulver'' in Meyers Konversations-Lexikon (1895) "Put a spoonful of the powder in a cup of water, mix it and drink it as soon as possible, during the time of sparkling. ...

Marshmallow
Marshmallow (, ) is a type of confectionery that is typically made from sugar, water and gelatin whipped to a solid-but-soft consistency.
