Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT: Oracle *Chocolate* Monitoring Tools/Friday Recipe
Sorry Lee, it looks like Rachel is too much of a chocoholic to be up on her hard candy nomenclature. In the US its refered to as Rock candy, basically colored, flavored, crystaline sugar (sucrose, not glucose) available in various shapes and sizes though I haven't seen much of it lately. [It's probably gone the way of ribbon candy and other treats of yesteryear... (Norman Rockwell moment).] The most common US seaside confection is Saltwater taffy, or cotton candy.
Confectionarily yours,
Mike

erm....I don't know how this travels.
Like a sugary candy which is extremely hard, you do have candy canes in the
States for Christmas trees etc ??
Sort of thicker, straighter version and normally minty in the UK - very
popular at Seaside resorts where the sweet is manufactured with the name of
the resort printed all the way through the middle. Oh God - this is sounding
more weird, the more I try and describe it.
Any other Brits who have lived/worked extensively in the States care to offer a better translation ??
Cheers
Lee
