How Do you Like your Marshmallows?
 

I'm going camping next week, and getting all geared up!

And of course no camping trip is complete without smores.

Of course, I think that the PERFECT marshmallow should be golden brown, not crunchy, and nice and gooey on the inside. Apparently others don't agree with me. So how do you like your marshmallows?

i always catch mine on fire for a couple seconds then blow it out... gives it just the right amount of carbon-flavor to the mallow, imo.

golden brown with some wheat crackers and chocolate.....although I can only eat one, any more and I just get sick of it...

I like them in Rocky Road ice cream, in hot cocoa, on baked yams, stuck on a fork flying across the room at my brother, on a coat hanger over the campfire, in various kinds of fruit salads, and every once in a while a plain ol' marshmallow.

give it to us raw and wriggling...

plain and by the fistful for me.

I like mine mostly golden brown, but you've got to have one or two that are blackend from the fire here and there or it just doesn't seem right!:D

Now when camping, remember the following for safely dealing with the wildlife. DO NOT feed the wildlife! Feeding the wildlife may cause the animals to crave people food. They may then be attracted to the local trash cans, camping grounds, and hikers. They may become agressive in order to get the food. When the wildlife gets agressive, we will be forced to relocate the people or put them down. It's the people who caused the problems in the first place. They should be the ones to pay.

Next on the agenda, there's the Tourist problem. We are overpopulated with Tourists! To help eleminate this problem, we will be issuing tourist licenses this season at half price with the purchase of any other hunting lisense. At the end of the season, we are giving out awards for largest tourist, richest tourist, and most tourists killed...

:lol: :lol: *wipes away tears* Run!

While plain is good, melted marshmellows in a nice rich cup of hot chocolate is hard to beat.

I also catch my marshmallows on fire at first- it gives them a nice, crunchy shell, and an ooey-gooey inside!

When I roast marshallows, I make sure to light them on fire for a little bit first. I peel off the blackened outer layer and have my way with the warm gooey marshmallow inside.

Dude, cooked is nice and all, but the best kind is straight out of the bag and into the mouth.

marshmallow peeps on an open fire.. you can almost hear them scream....

Blackened is quite nice... has that gourmet quality to it -

Peeps are the best toasted, the sugar coating gets all carmelized, and they really don't lose their shape --- much... until you squish them with the graham cracker.

Golden brown. However, microwaved is good also. Not very usefull for a camping trip.

I always just stick mine right in the fire, pull it out when it is flaming, blow out the flame and then eat it. For some reason I like the crunchy blackened outside while the inside is warm and gooey.

I voted "Other"

I tried making some in the fire once and I don't get what the fuss is all about. They don't taste better just because they've been cooked a bit. I prefer them plain. yum!

In a banana boat: split banana, peel and all, down the middle, stuff with chocolate and marshmallow (torn into bits), wrap in foil and place in coals for about 5-10 mintues, Remove, unwrap and enjoy! (Rich and yummy)

I use my desk lamp to cook mine to a golden brown. What do you guys use?

There is one way, and only one way, to properly cook a marshmallow.

Put a bag inside an empty food tin, seal it up, let it sit by a fire for a few mins until they all melt into one blob, pour out the blob, skewer it around on a stick until you get a ball, blow it cool, then give it a quick blast on a fire, and enjoy your morphus gloop.



Thats cooking drunken scout style.:D

Mmmm- lightly brown marshmallows over the fire!

Marshmallows should be burnt, the carbon coating slid off, then burnt, skinned, burnt, skinned, until nothing is left.

They should also be toasted a perfect golden brown.

And, at the same time, they should be lit on first and blown out quickly, then swallowed all at once.

The fact that the one true way to eat marshmellows involves 3 different ways to eat marshmallows isn't a contradiction. It is simply a lower bound on the number of marshmallows required to eat marshmallows properly!

Golden brown, that's when they're at their best. I don't like it when they are black.

Burnt to a fucking crisp. Still on fire when you pull them out of the fire. Awesome.

Stevie, I might seriously have to try your way! :)

nice untouuched marshmellows in my hot chocolate

i like them toasted.
...what are marshmellows made out of anyway?

Sugar, corn syrup, water, gelatin, egg white

That's about it.

i liked them ok fine when i was a kid. not especially though.

marshmallows are extremely low on the edible consumption list nowadays.
in other words... i don't dig them. at all.

so yeah, i voted <b>other</b>.

3 more days! Then smores, here I come :)

Golden brown... but it seems like most of the time I end up with a partial black one.
