In Jr. high (7th grade/12yo) in the early 90s, a latchkey kid friend of mine used to experiment with stuff around his house, and found some dried tubular reeds that he swore tasted like marshmallows when he smoked them.
Don’t ask me why he thought smoking that was a good idea. I met him in the gifted and talented educational program for aeronautics. Now you have me wondering if this is what he was smoking.
So what you're telling me is that they're actually supposed to be vegan.
At one point yeah but I'd bet most have cow hoof in it now... Yummy yummy cow toe nails
All the root based recipes I just googled up and read had egg in them too so nope.
You can actually still find vegan marshmallows! They're just stupidly uncommon. I know Trader Joe's carries them, and I've found some online when I was hunting. They're a great way to hide pills from picky opossums.
