Marzipan

[FTVS]

Ok people here it is. Cast your vote, i'll take majority of the first twenty. I am AGAINST this disgusting lump of vileness, surely nothing made of almonds should be the colour of the stomach bile - there's something they aren't telling us.

Absolutely LOVE it but I won't eat anything with artificial colouring in.

HMMmm.. Now I'm worried.... I'm getting the impression that most of the "Nay" votes are from guys, and most of the "Yea" ones are from the ladies... Me.. ? I agree that the colour is pretty weird, but the taste is Wonderful..!! :o) Nice to be in touch with my feminine side... Maybe...?

Missed the top 20 I think, but its the only ingredient that makes Stollen edible.

Love it.Favourite chocs of all time are Anton Berg marzipan liqueurs - Plum in Madeira. Fantastic!

Vile!! It's like flavoured sand mixed with play-dough!!

I love it, all sweet and yummy, intensely almondy, my mother makes her own sometimes- which is additive free.

Ok the offical answerbank view of Marzipan is that it is YUMMY with a total of 335 votes for and 19 against - who'd thought the humble millipeed had so much power...? I guess I will just have to go and eat my words (made out of marzipan of course...Bleagh!)

In fact, there IS something they're not telling you. Many marzipan recipes include adding a few bitter almonds to round out the taste. Bitter almonds contain prussic acid, which is a poison. As for my vote[albeit too late], let others enjoy the yucky stuff. I prefer my almonds roasted. Aloha
