According to a London based online newspaper, home-made marshmallows are taking New York City by storm! If I lived
a bit closer, I would head into my favorite US city to check it out, but it’s
quite far for me so I’ll have to take London’s word for truth until I get
there or hear differently from some of you. While these are no “State Puffs”,
and don’t likely resemble the marshmallows you remember or still buy to put on
the end of a stick and catch fire, they are beautiful, flavorful and apparently,
becoming quite trendy. I hesitate to say it because personally I don't believe it, but owner and chef of Three Tarts
Bakery in Chelsea, NYC, Maria D’Urso told the New York Times that they are the
new cupcakes! Scandal! The Three Tarts Bakery makes many flavors for the kid in
all of us such as cinnamon, strawberry basil and chocolate rosemary. At CityBakery in New York City, they most amazing hot chocolate I’ve ever had is topped with a
delicious homemade puff, as is the delicious hot chocolate at one of my
favorite restaurants in Williamsburg, VA. In Indiana at a bakery called 240Sweet, chefs make marshmallows of all kinds; avocado and lime, cherry lime-aid,
pineapple and mango, red bean and sesame and even chicken and beef flavor. Now
personally…I’m not eating beef or chicken flavored marshmallow. I have to
ignore the whole gelatin bit as it is. Making it taste like beef as well…Check
out these flavors here...seriously! Who knew?!
