      Have any of you EVER eaten Peeps? ..and actually LIKED them? When I was little, every Easter my grandmother would ALWAYS get them for the basket I would get from her, but I hated them so I never ate them (except that one time I ate the head off one of them but then the sweet marshmallowyness made me queasy), and every year they'd end up being the last thing in my basket and they'd sit there forever until they were rock hard :P

      Come to think of it, marshmallows must fruit pretty damned early, mustn't they? are they a Winter crop? or are the peeps made from last Fall's harvest? (that would explain their usually less than prime marshmallowiness.)
