I have never liked those Orange and White little candy corns. Whew! A load off my chest. Feels the same as the day I swore off eating Turkey for Thanksgiving because it was an ugly dry, tasteless bird.
(I made a turkey last year that was fantastic by the way, but I had him on an I.V. drip of butter.)
I like a little bit of candy corn at Halloween, but it has to be consumed properly. First, you bite off the white tip, then you eat the yellow base, and finally the orange middle. Otherwise, the universe might implode.
That's the only way to eat it. I'm glad someone else knows the rules besides me.
My son gets so excited when this song comes on the TV (multiple times a day this month). Thanks for the link. I never think to look these things up for him so he can hear them at will.
It is a tradition for me... but only in the fall. I buy a bag and eat it off and on.
When we had kids, I made up a family tradition on Thanksgiving -- thinking of the legend of the few grains of parched corn that the original settlers had -- and trying to tie the holiday in to the intent -- of being thankful.
After supper we would sit around the table with a bowl of the candy corns in the center. each one in the family would state what they were thankful for and take a candy. We went round and round the table and someone (usually mom) recorded all the "thanks" which were read again the following year, after we had emptied the bowl.
My kids are doing this with their families and extended families. I was really cool to spend Thanksgiving in Utah with them, a couple of years ago and see the tradition in context of the sisters (when we started there were only the 7 of us, mom, dad and 5 girls) and their spouses and kids and assorted kin of the spouses... While waiting for supper we did Peruvian dances, as the supper was held at the home of my youngest, who married a Peruvian fellow and his family were in the states as well. So I am adopting THAT as a tradition now, though I am the only dancer in the house.
I love candy corn both the regular and chocolate ones.
