Corn porridge
“I was at a dinner in the south, I think, in Mississippi. I asked the waitress what it was and she looked at me somewhat uncertainly and puzzled.

Hershey's Chocolate

At the tiles Hershey's such a dusty texture (as if, five weeks after Easter, the uneaten chocolate egg was found) and the taste is not rich enough.

Fruit ice
