gotmoof loves me. He brought me home some post-holiday sale Peeps. Roasting them over an open flame makes them the crème brûlée of roasted marshmallows. They're almost too good for the likes of S'mores.
I am some times surprised by what is or is not kosher, or for that matter, what is or is not vegetarian. I've heard of gelatin being an issue for both.
While Peeps may not be Kosher, I've seen Kosher marshmallows in the store, presumably usually using a gelatin substitute, like agar or pectin (which are vegetarian). I found a vegetarian recipe, which I should think could be make in a Kosher manner at home. I do see on Wikipedia that there are some animal derived Kosher gelatins called K-gelatin (of course, that doesn't help with the vegetarian thing).
As Americans, we are often ignorant of the pervasive use of corn and soy products in all our foods. I love when I get out of the country, how food tastes different and my body feels different too (though part of that is surely to the rush of adventure and increased exercise).
Recently I went to the Wisconsin Dells with a group of bears, some of whom were mostly Vegan. We ate at a vegetarian restaurant, which is jokingly referenced as being run by some cult. The food was very good. But it did strike me as unusual to see a collected group of bears eating vegetarian, and enjoying it too.
