minus-square@Lewistrick@feddit.nllinkfedilink24•2 years agoIn Dutch it’s also marshmallows, but also commonly spek (bacon), spekjes (bacon pieces) or spekkies (in this case it’s clear you’re not talking about bacon).
minus-square@Mane25@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglish13•2 years agoNow you have me curious since this is the second language, why bacon?
minus-square@sizzling@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink11•2 years agoThe original candy looked like this: https://cdn.webshopapp.com/shops/282420/files/297921342/890x820x1/confiserie-a-lancienne-spekjes-roze-wit-doos-2-kg.jpg Which with some imagination can be similar to bits of bacon. Marshmallows are somewhat similar candy so the name is used for that too at times.

minus-square@marauding_muggle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoIn our local dialect it’s “nunnebiln” ~ nonnenbillen, which I’d translate to nuns buttocks. We also have nuns farts, but that’s another sweet for another day 😆
