Photo a Day Challenge - 19.9.2015 - Candy.
I had to look up the word Candy, I know American's use it to describe Lollies or Sweets... Who'd have thought it was an English word eh!
From Wiki...
The Middle English word candy began to be used in the late 13th century.
The first candy came to America in the early 18th century from Britain and France. Only a few of the early colonists were proficient in sugar work and were able to provide the sugary treats for the very wealthy. Rock Candy, made from crystallized sugar, was the simplest form of candy, but even this basic form of sugar was considered a luxury and was only attainable by the rich.
Not strictly 'Candy' but this is crystallized sugar on top of the berries and yoghurt below :-)
