I do have a lot of fun with my vintage cook...Hello:<br />I do have a lot of fun with my vintage cookbook talks. I too don't cook from many of the books, but I do cook from a lot of them. Here's what Wikipedia says about Mallomars - that is echoed on the Nabisco website.<br /><br />Mallomars<br />In the US, Mallomars[18] are produced seasonally at Nabisco. A graham cracker circle is covered with a puff of extruded marshmallow, then enrobed in dark chocolate, which forms a hard shell. Mallomars were introduced to the public in 1913, the same year as the Moon Pie (a confection which has similar ingredients). The first box of Mallomars was sold in West Hoboken, NJ (now Union City, NJ). Nabisco discusses it with a short story printed on Mallomar boxes.<br /><br />Because Mallomars melt easily in summer temperatures, they can become difficult to find during the summer: they are generally available from early October through April.[19] Devoted eaters of the cookie have been known to stock up during winter months and keep them refrigerated over the summer; though paradoxically, Nabisco markets other fudge-coated cookie brands year-round. Seventy percent of all Mallomars are sold in metropolitan New York. The issue of Nabisco's choice to release Mallomars seasonally became a parodied topic on a sketch delivered by graphic artist Pierre Bernard on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.<br /><br />According to the box, Mallomars are made in Canada by Kraft Foods. In Canada, these are known as "Dream Puffs."Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200630721904688015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23623415.post-58470144852203522712010-07-14T12:44:53.735-07:002010-07-14T12:44:53.735-07:00Hello Amy,
I'm glad your talk went well last ...Hello Amy, <br />I'm glad your talk went well last night. What a fun job you have - talking about the history of food!<br /><br />I collect vintage cookbooks - even though I don't cook! Isn't that crazy. But I love all the history there.<br /><br />Ran across a Mallomar ad in an old Life Magazine (early 60's?) recently. Do you know off hand when Mallomars were introduced? <br /><br />Thanks so much...Sarsaparillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14517012188376869524noreply@blogger.com
