TIL Illinois Marshmallows are from ancient Egypt.

This is the recipe I use to make them: redheadedherbalist.com/marshmallow-root-marshmall…

You can use pretty much any herbal tea in the place of the mallow root to make different flavors. I usually dust mine with coconut powder instead of arrowroot, too. Mallow powder can be found at most health food stores, but you can also forage your own Mallows or cheese weed to make your own if you know what to look for.

Yeah, it was the sap of marsh mallow that the Egyptians used.

Saying that doesn’t mean that they think Egyptians used the English word “marshmallow”.

Edit but it likely was something like their words for those things, which then got translated again and again and again.

The original connotation didn’t reach us. My native language calls the modern sweet “foam candy” (vaahtokarkki)

kofe ,

Ooo what do you call cotton candy?

grandel ,

They also didn’t speak German. What point are you trying to make?
