To ask if you like marzipan?

[HappyGirlNow]

That's it really, more details to follow, but do you like marzipan or not?

Yes love it (off to eat a Mr Kiplings mini Battenburg).

Interestingly (or probably not) I could take or leave marmite. I mean I like it, but I wouldn't say I love it.

Marzipan with a glass of Amaretto. Delicious!

adds marzipan to shopping list

tibba that is my idea of absolute hell... Urgh...

I like to make korvapuusti (cinnamon buns) with bits of marzipan rolled up in them. Delicious!

Does korvapuusti translate to pus cave?

(Cos it should)

It's Satan's spunk.

I'm lovin' it.

Another block eater here. Hate Marmite though. I always think the icing ruins the marzipan rather than the other way round. I would dye marzipan and skip the icing altogether, does have to be on fruit cake though , or simnel cake, or Tunis cake or battenburg.... Never seen it under icing on anything except fruit.

Happy I am with you!

I love proper expensive marzipan, yes.

Detest it, the smell of it makes me boke. My best mate adores it though so I buy good stuff for her and it can sit in our house unmolested and unsnaffled for weeks as none of the 5 of us eat it.

fuck no!

I hate marzipan.
I'm not fond of almonds either.
I can smell cyanide.
My DDs hate marzipan but I have no idea if they can smell cyanide.

At Christmas I have to make several cakes, those with marzipan and those without.

The first time DH met my parents he was given marzipan cake . He ate it and only admitted ages later he was retching as he hated it so much . Knew he was a keeper !!

"Some people have a genetic defect which makes them unably to smell cyanide. I have a theory these are the people that love marzipan."

I thought you were just pissing around here Lurking, but I Googled out of interest anyway and it appears to be a fairly solid scientific theory.

It'd certainly explain the extreme aversion some of us have to the stuff. Genuinely Quite Interesting.

I can smell almonds. I assume that means I'd be able to smell cyanide, although given how lethal cyanide is, I have no desire to test that theory.

I love marzipan.

I'm not a fan. If get the cake without marzipan, as others have said it's a waste if half the guests are picking it off. Maybe you can get some lovely marzipan fruits as a nice present for your dh to console him!

I can smell the difference between bitter almond (cyanide) and sweet almonds.
and I love marzipan.

Love marzipan but on fruit cake or by itself/choc covered. Big NO to being on a sponge.

*Does korvapuusti translate to pus cave?

(Cos it should)* It translates to a 'smacked ear' I suppose the person who named it thought it looked like a smacked and swollen ear...

Yes, korvapuusti means ear slaps, it's where I got my username from . Amazing Finnish cinnamon and cardamom spiced swirls.

No neither me nor my Dh like it.

I love marzipan, especially on Christmas cake. Recently discovered Princess cake when in Sweden, is very lovely. Did try a cooking block once but was a bit much...

Yep, another block eater. I'll happily go and buy a block, cut slices off and just eat them. Heavenly. I hate fruit cake, so at weddings I tend to hunt out the people who don't like marzipan and swap them the icing and marzipan they've left on their plate for my cake.
