I’ve decided I no longer want to talk politics on here – no “progressive” talk or “liberal” or “Conservatives”.

Instead, I wanna talk about confectionery – which the British sometimes call “sweets” or “sweeties” or “spogs” or “spice” or “goodies”, and what we in North America call “candy”.

Also, what better way to turn over a new “sweet” – er “leaf”, then to change the look of the site. Look at all those goodies in the title bar.. mmm mmm… makes me gain 10 pounds just looking at it.

Just so we all know what “confectionery” means, a better definition comes from Wikipedia:

Confectionery items include sweets, lollipops, candy bars, chocolate, Cotton candy, and other sweet items of snack food. The term does not generally apply to cakes, biscuits, or puddings which require cutlery to consume, although exceptions such as petits fours or meringues exist. Speakers of American English do not refer to these items as “candy”.

Remember that when you discuss confectionery at my site. I will boot anyone off of my site who comes on here trying to tell me a cake or a pudding is confectionery. Donut talk is also not tolerated here. On the other hand, expressing your love for such things as fudge, toffee/taffy, or chocolates, to name a few, will earn you my undying love and respect, and perhaps I’ll send you a copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

So, whats YOUR fave confectionary?
