SC - snowballs and quandong jelly

[Ian van Tets]

In answer to questions, the snowballs I know don't have cake in them, 
just marshmallow.  They are often rolled in chocolate before the 
coconut, but not always.  I don't know what the alternative is, but 
it's not chocolate, 'cause I can eat it.  Quandong jelly is ordinary 
packet jelly made from a native Australian fruit which most of us 
have never tasted and probably never will;  apparently they're rock 
hard even when they're ripe.  The jelly is coloured purple.  And no, 
I haven't tried it.  

Shall we turn the conversation to something slightly more on topic now?  
What about unusual cooking methods?  The Anglo-Norman Culinary 
collection refers to cooking in a pot surrounded by slaking lime;  we 
watched a rather fun video a couple of weeks ago which talked at one 
stage of cooking stews in a wooden bucket, the heat provided by means
of a rock heated in the fire.  Any others?
