Marshmallows in Wales/Chamallows au pays de Galles
by joon
Ten days ago, I was in wales for my best friend's engagement party. And like I didn't get the opportunity to do marshmallows in France, i brought them in Wales to share this wonderful experience with people.
I was sure that english people, sorry welsh people knew how to roast chamallows. But I was wrong. Some of them had already done this before but I supposed their masters were not good. There is a art of roasting...
I know some people like burnt marsmallows, dark very dark, but come on...
But I can find an excuse... They prefer beers! I am amazed how much they can drink like 10 liters in few hours and they are drunk but ok, you still can have a conversation with them. Actually maybe not the conversation of your life but...
they are fine.
I ate some with my french friends, uhhh, actually, everyone like the fun of doing it but not really eat them.
Let's admit it's not really super good.

Art of chamallows
by joon
Time to tell more about chamallows. I know I should have told you this story two months ago.
If you remember, last time, I was telling you that the first time I tasted BBQ chamallows was with my sister in France.
In march, I went on the coast of Oregon for a great week end. And like in France, you buy the things you like to eat. In France we would have brought baguette, chocolate, pâté, chips...
In USA, popcorn, hot dogs and marshmallows ... to make “s’mores”
I don’t have to say that “s’mores” was totally unknown and mysterious for me.
The art of marshmallows!
Here are some rules:
- Never roast a marshmallows for someone else. I learned that from Josh. He said something like “A marshmallow, it’s personal.” He said that better but I forgot. (checkers!)
Why ? Because there is not one way to eat them. There are as many ways as human beings on this earth!
Roasting a marshmallow is a little bit like Life finally, you have to find your own way.
Now I know myself better because I know how I like my chamallows (french names of marshmallows). I like them raw (it’s cultural) and brown but not too much, just crunchy and liquid inside.
- You have first to be sure your marshmallow will not fall in the fire. Even if it’s fun to watch them burning.
- Don’t use a flame to roast it but an ember. It’s better to control the roasting. The danger with the flame it’s that it’s gonna burn...bad, very bad! Fun but bad!
Don’t worry, at the beginning you make a lot of mistakes and it’s terrible. You swear never you are going to eat this stupid stuff again and after you are addict.
There is more...
Because roasted marshmallows are not enough, someone introduced to the world the “s’more”!
Buy honey crackers (not only honey but they are good), chocolate (for that don’t buy ghillardelly, it’s criminal) and of course the chamallows.
You roast your chamallows exactly like you like it and before that you had prepared a piece of chocolate and two crackers. When your chamallows is perfect...you put it between two crackers with the chocolate inside and you have a “s’more”!!!
Ok, the first time honestly, you are very impressed and even scared. And after you just eat because it’s a tradition.
An other way to eat chamallows and actually, I really appreciate it ... babies chamallows.
You buy the tiny chamallows you put in hot chocolate.
You have to roast them by five at least. They are so cut in the fire. They are less fun than their parents when they fall in the fire, they just melt but they are good and cute to eat. It’s a little bit crual but it’s the game!
I LOVE BABIES CHAMALLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In France we have green, and pink chamallows, I have to try with them! And this summer when I will introduce the s’mores to the french people, I will take so many pictures!!!
Last recommandation, pay attention not to leave the pack of crackers on your chair because “oh, oh I just sat on the crackers!”
Guys, I miss eating smores with you!

Ma premiere experienceMy first experience
by joon
I knew that people in USA brought marshmallows to camp and put them on stick. And I am sure, some people do it in france but it's not really common. Actually not common for my generation and those before! So I never experienced it.
The first time, it's my sister who is 10 years younger than me (She is closer with the "cool" stuff to do) who came with this idee. She loves it.
So we ate some roasted chamallows. I hated it. I thought it was the weirdest thing to eat, even for fun. It was the first time that I saw a brown chamallow.
In france, we eat them "raw". Ok, we like steak tartare (raw ground beef with raw egg and other things) which probably explains our preference for "raw chamallows"!
My roasted Marshmallows was so hot that I burnt myself and I hate burning myself or I couldn't eat it because there were too dark, ok let's say it, burnt! And also, so sticky!!!??? Weird thing to eat, really! The only thing I appreciated was the time you share around the fire (Merci Aude). So all this sacrifice of good chamallows convinced me that I didn't like that kind of party.
But in France we have this proverb : " Il n'y a que les imbeciles qui ne changent pas d'avis." (Only stupid people don't change their opinion.)
And one more time, I suppose I am not stupid... youpi!
Stay tune for the next episode of "My adventures in the crazy world of the marshmallowchamallows"
Je savais qu'aux etats unis, les gens faisaient des brochettes de chamallows quand ils allaient camper. Et je suis sure qu'il y a des gens qui font ca en France, mais ce n'est pas vraiment commun. Disons en tout cas pas commun pour ma generation et celles d'avant! Bref, je n'avais donc jamais experimente cela.
La premiere fois que j'ai goute, c'est ma soeur qui a propose de faire rotir des chamallows.
J'ai pas vraiment aime a vrai dire et je trouvais que c'etait le truc le plus bizarre a manger. C'etait la premiere fois que je voyais des marshmallows marrons. En france on les mange plutot "cru" mais on mange aussi du steack tartare alors ca explique peut etre notre preference pour les chamallows crus!
Enfin, mon chamallow etait si chaud que je me suis brulee et deja c'est pas agreable, mais en plus c'etait trop souvent brule et tres collant. Trop bizarre! La seule chose que j'ai appreciee, c'est la reunion autour du feu. (merci ma aude) Finalement, tout ce sacrifice de chamallows m'a fait dire que je n'etais pas sure d'aimer ca.
Mais en France, on a ce proverbe: "Il n'y a que les imbeciles qui ne changent pas d'avis" alors je suppose encore une fois que je ne suis pas une imbecile...youpi!
