[Sca-cooks] rice with orange juice, was Lemonwhyt?

[Barbara Dodge]

Will you please tell me what asian rock sugar is.

Many years ago I bought a bag of large sugar crystals from an oriental
market.  The crystals were mostly of an emerald shape, and about the size of
a postage stamp or larger.  I thought it was just another version of rock
candy like you find formed on strings.  I am wondering is this is the same
as your asian rock sugar.

I have often used the asian rock sugar in cooking collegia; giving students
a rock of sugar and a knife with which to scrape it gives them quite a
different perspective on how much sugar may have been used in period
recipes. (It doesn't take long before you are over the whole scraping
experience)

If I could get it in the serious sized lumps that were around in period, I
would be an even happier cook.
