Iraqi candy
While we were doing clearing operations in a neighborhood the other day, a friendly "hostess" offered us sodas and candy. This happens occasionally, and we graciously accepted.
This Iraqi candy had the texture of soft taffy. Upon biting into it, the first taste I noticed could be described as slightly sweet and chewy, but with a distracting rosemary taste. As it dissolved on the tongue, the taste shifted into the cheapest of Chinese restaurant teas. The final act as it was being swallowed was to take on the taste of shampoo. Bitter, soapy shampoo.
I smiled at the nice lady, and politely declined when she offered another one.
