Malabar
Name:
Malabar
Gum
Description:
France

Le chewing gum arrived in France in 1917 with American GIs, who carried it in their war packs, but didn't catch on until the American soldiers returned during WWII, and distributed it by the handful as they liberated French towns.

Malabar was created in 1958, and bubble-blowers claim that it produces the largest bubbles. Each piece of Malabar comes wrapped with a vignette or cartoon; the early ones are much sought after by collectors.

Marmite
Name:
Marmite
Savoury Snack
Description:
IrelandUnited Kingdom

Marmite is a British savoury spread made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing.

It is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful taste that polarises consumer opinion. This is reflected in the company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it".

It is similar to the Australasian Vegemite and Swiss Cenovis, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. There is also an Australasian version of "Marmite", although this uses a different recipe, and has a much stronger flavour that is comparatively sweet.

The image on the front of the British jar shows a marmite (French type of large covered earthenware or metal cooking pot).

The British Marmite was originally supplied in earthenware pots, but has long been sold in glass jars that approximate the shape of such pots. A thinner version in squeezable plastic jars was introduced in March 2006.

Small single portions are available and ideal for popping into an exchange package.

Mars Bar
Name:
Mars Bar
Chocolate Snack
Description:
AustraliaIrelandNew ZealandSaudi ArabiaUnited KingdomPakistan

Made of chocolate-malt nougat topped with a layer of caramel and covered with milk chocolate.

The Mars Bar outside the USA is very similar to the Milky Way sold within the United States.

The Mars bar was first produced in 1920 by Frank and Ethel Mars in Tacoma, Washington, in the US.

It was locally named the Milky Way bar but called the Mars bar in Europe.

The Mars Bar formerly sold in the USA was slightly different from the Mars Bar still sold in other countries, which does not contain almonds. It has been sold elsewhere as "Mars Almond".

There are (or were) two slightly different products known as the Mars Bar. Both contained nougat topped with caramel and covered with milk chocolate.

Make Your Own USA Style Mars BarsHowever, the product formerly sold as Mars in the USA contained almonds in the nougat, whereas the Mars still sold elsewhere does not.

Here's a fun piece of trivia - in England in 1998 a man was sentenced to five years in prison after he had stolen eight lorry loads of Mars bars that weighed more than 300 tons and were worth of approximately £70,000 each ($140,000 in US Dollars)

Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt where it was a honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis). Marsh-Mallow grows in salt marshes and on banks near large bodies of water. It is common in the eastern United States. Until the mid 1800's, marshmallow candy was made using the sap of the Marsh-Mallow plant. Gelatin replaces the sap in the modern recipes.
