Looking for a specific vanilla

The FA Nougat aka Torrone is a decent nougat flavor though I detected some citrus notes as well as a slight nutty sweetness. The WF nougat is more nutty similar to a european type of nougat. The Inw Nougat to me is gooey and less nutty but still creates a great creamy and full mouthfeel.

Nope, our local Shopko had them all the time, in Kenosha. They had a little sample stand that had Brachs and Tootsie Roll stuff for 2 cents each. And our local WallyWorld has them but only Vanilla.

@STR8V8PING ill grab some Nilla ones next time i head into town and see if it can help jog my flavor memory.

You got the diabetes too? Or bad teeth? I am now below the pre-diabetes threshold so i can have a couple but ive got bad teeth so i wont be able to chew them but ill still enjoy a couple for the sake of flavor finding.

Iā€™m not supposed to eat candy (type 2 diabetic ) but I still indulge every now and then. Iā€™ll buy a small bag of Brachā€™s Jelly Nougats (only 5 pieces). And see how long it will last. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Ive been drooling since you posted that pic, i loved those things and i was the only one in the family who did so when i got them i never had to share.

Ever try Ceylon Cinnamon to help lower and prevent blood sugar spikes? It worked well for me and i think i still have an unopened bottle of capsules.

Iā€™ve never tried Ceylon Cinnamon capsules but Iā€™ve used raw Ceylon cinnamon while making homemade Biscoff cookies. They are freaking evil little cookies. https://youtu.be/zue9G1PGBYw?si=xqbgVBEBSHY5veh8

@STR8V8PING My favorite vanilla candy is called White Rabbit, a Chinese candy. Iirc, @Rocky02852 made a recipe for them. Maybe heā€™ll pop in and comment. I canā€™t imagine the vanilla Tootsie Rolls being any better but now Iā€™ll have to try them.

I saw a diy recipe for these, too:

That sucks to hear. .Im sure you have already tried this but i was having bad stomach problems. i did all the test GERD test , The Camera down my throat , a coulke other thngs, blood work to cancel out any cancer ,etc etc. Nobody could tell me anything, of a couple doctors said Anxiety??? FUCKING ANXIETY , the answer they live to give , No doc its not Anxiety , its half the day that I feel this way. Anyway, I talked to a friend and they suggested i go Gluten Free, Yep Gluten Free. So i did and i have done a 360 when it comes to stomach problems. It is tough at first , especially of you like Cinna Bons and donuts and cookies lolā€¦Its gets easy though and the GF bread itself is amazing .

Yup iv had so many tests and they cant find anything somehow. Iv done multiple mris cat scans , endoscopy , colonoscopy, gerd tests hpylori etc. They literally told me the same thing as you maybe axiety and constipation. Im like dr i never had anxiety and iv had constipation before and this is not that. I was fine stomach wise my whole life until one day 9 months ago it all started inatantly. I have tried gluten free but didnt seem to help. All iv been eating lately is like grilled chicken and avacados.iv also lost 100lbs in the last 9 months and i been eating ao theres clearly a issue.

Wow, fiddy, thatā€™s huge! Iā€™m glad it wasnā€™t anything scary and Iā€™m happy youā€™re doing a lot better now. My friend has GERD and itā€™s awful. She couldnā€™t swallow for months and was constantly spitting saliva in a cup. She lost so much weight very fast.

I hope you find a solution soon. Digestive issues are not fun, my heart goes out to you.

5 Likes

Thanks. It really does. What iv come to find is that science is way behind on the digestive system . Like 90 percent of digestive issues have unknown causes and are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. A massive percentage of people are diagnosed with ibs or ibd but those are not even real diseases. Its basically when a dr dont know its ibs/ibd

Exactly, they just call it by what itā€™s doing to you, irritating your gut. Sometimes I wonder if generations of eating the crap food we have has caused our DNA to change? Idk, just speculating.

I was listening to a talk on the radio about it and theyā€™re saying that we get the gene from Neanderthals, no before the Neanderthals. Idk, I never heard of this before.
