Yes, a wafer.

Also still literally called "Negro Kisses" in Germany. Not officially anymore but still colloquially. Talk about being progressive^^

hmm, pretty sure it's regular biscuit rather than a wafer for British teacakes. But still similar kind of thing

And I guess this is where that Polandball comic where Sweden gives France some chocolate sweets and then translates their name as "nigger balls" comes from. Poor France

The name of this candy in Brazil is SO offensive that saying it here would GARANTEE I get banned.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I translateted 1:1. I ve no idea what they re called outside of germany. It seems they re not as common as i thought

Negerboller (in danish)  (translations would be black bun, or nigro (sp?) bun? I guess).

Today its considered politically incorrect to call them such though, and we instead call the Whipcream buns  (flødeboller).



How many here have tasted one of these:

Romkugler (Rum balls):

I'm not even sure which candy he is talking about, I have a guess because I know one with has a very vulgar name, but I'm not sure it's it. The one I'm thinking about is pretty similar to what captainexplosion posted, but regarding black women instead of nuns.

Yes, that´s the one.

Their typically made with Cake left-overs/crumbs from other pastires at the bakers.

You blend it, mix it with marmalade, Coco, rum & rum essense, melted chocolate & whipcream (small amounts), form the balls and roll them in the toppings.

Put them in the fridge for a few hours. Serve them cold.

You mean Turkish yoghurt marketed as Greek yoghurt! You're supposed to be Turkish?

Does Brazil not have Lion? Do you guys have Mars, Snickers, Twix etc? If you want I can ship you all the chocolate you want

But I'm from the country of real chocolate and I can ship you these

 

I suppose to be a freemason from the middle east (A Freemasons way call me). Or in your words an alevi from DERSIM.

A freemason huh, you are an cool dude, supa cool. I dont care wether you're an alevi, I have alevi friends.

Yes, a wafer.

In Dutch it's even worse: negertetten, or negro tits :/

Lately we have those!

We have local produced Snickers, Twix and Kitkat, since 2011-2012. Mars I bought once, but could be a import. The Milkway I think we have something called Milkbar.

the Maltesers I saw once, but I did not buy it.

I love Snickers, Twix and Kitkat. I used to eat them once a week, but to prevent getting fat I do eat a candy bar twice a month now =D

You wont get fat eating them once a week, hell some people eat them everyday. If you exercise enough no problen :P

Btw, Japanese kitkats are da best, kitkat macha is awesome! Shame they only come in small sizes, as an environmentalist one thing I dislike about Japanese snacks is the plastic waste.!



Can you feel the power of the lion now?
