Goody Goody Gum Drops
Goody Goody Gum Drops is a New Zealand flavour of ice cream made by Tip Top (ice cream), Tip Top. It is pastel-green-coloured, bubblegum-flavoured and contains gumdrops. It is considered iconic to New Zealand, and perception of the flavour is polarising among New Zealanders. History Goody Goody Gum Drops was invented in 1983 by the general director of Tip Top (ice cream), Tip Top, Murray Taylor. According to Taylor, having a good distribution of gumdrops in the ice cream is difficult and "Very few ice-cream makers in the world would have attempted it". In 2008, Tip Top created a variant of the ice cream flavour on a stick as a limited edition. According to Taylor, it took two years for the stick version to be created, due to distribution of the gumdrops being a problem. At first they all came out as a big lump, and Danish consultants created a mathematical model of the normal distribution of the gumdrops, saying that the goal could not be achieved.

Honeycomb Toffee
Honeycomb toffee, honeycomb candy, sponge toffee, cinder toffee, seafoam, or hokey pokey is a sugary toffee with a light, rigid, sponge-like texture. Its main ingredients are typically brown sugar (or corn syrup, molasses or golden syrup) and baking soda, sometimes with an acid such as vinegar. The baking soda and acid react to form carbon dioxide which is trapped in the highly viscous mixture. When acid is not used, thermal decomposition of the baking soda releases carbon dioxide. The sponge-like structure is formed while the sugar is liquid, then the toffee sets hard. The candy goes by a variety of names and regional variants. Owing to its relatively simple recipe and quick preparation time, in some regions it is often made at home, and is a popular recipe for children. It is also made commercially and sold in small blocks, or covered in chocolate, a popular example being the Crunchie bar of Britain and Canada, or the Violet Crumble of Australia. Regional names Honeycomb toff ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
