In the USA there is a commercial product consisting of a jar of white
stuff resembling silicon bathroom tile caulking compound -- a slightly
aerated white goo, extremely sweet, with a faint burnt-sugar flavor
and perhaps a little pseudo-vanilla thrown in. I gather the idea is
that this product can be spread on cakes, or even bread, used in
S'mores, or served over ice cream. Some have alleged it can be used as
some sort of sexual aid, for those so inclined. I'm not seeing it, but
I'm notoriously prudish in certain respects.
Well, the question is, does the UK/Australian/New Zealand portion of
the world have an equivalent product to Marshmallow Fluff (or possibly
even the same product) ? I was figuring there'd be something roughly
equivalent, possibly with a cool-sounding name like Fizzy Blort-O...
Hmmm... if there isn't something already called Fizzy Blort-O, there
definitely should be.

Drakey's Reply:
I'm touched you've come to me... But YES, we do... I've NEVER been game to
try it and have always just walked past shaking my head. In fact I've never
seen anyone here actually eating it, but somebody's gotta be buying it...
Young kids I suspect...
I shudder at it being used as a sexual aid tho... Although, unlike
Adamantius I'm not at all prudish when it comes to certain respects and
recently had a re-enactment of a "9 1/2 weeks" the weekend just gone. No
fluff was used but I believe it was:
3 Cheeses - Roquefort, a baby round rind washed French soft cheese (Le trou
de crou), and a Barossa Valley goat camembert. Some Kangaroo Mettwurst.
Wasabi Peas (always a shock if you're blind-folded), those
tamarind/chilli/sugar sweets, violet scented candy, d'arenberg Peppermint
Paddock (a lovely sparking red (Chambourcin) from McLaren Vale), Coconut
Jam, Japanese Mayonnaise (in strategic spots).... A few other lovely bits
and pieces... You get the idea :)
Never re-enacted the dairy scene from Last Tango in Paris tho...
Drake - now RUNNING HARD for a huge flame proof rock, before Gunthar slaps
me down....
