I'll send you bonbons

[Biomecha]

Why bonbons?

[mdom]

To add sugar in your life!

[Biomecha]

Bon bons hardly last that long though. Actually, I don't think I've ever had one. Or are they just another name for truffles?

[mdom]

Hm, at least here they're less fancy than truffles.

Let me show you:

[Biomecha]

Ew, those are the cheap candies with filler ingredients that aren't worth the calories. It looks like bon bons are slightly different than truffles. Like more filling and less chocolate coating.

[mdom]

don't call my candies cheap!!! they're expensive xDD not as expensive as truffles, of course, but I can't get a box that often

[Biomecha]

I never get truffles either, they're too pricey for the amount you get.

[mdom]

I eat the homemade ones
like when people want to get more money for their household and start doing uhhh bake sales
but instead of bake sales they sell truffles here

[Biomecha]

Do you ever come across unique recipes?

The closet thing to that here might be at the farmer's market.

[mdom]

I'd have to cook myself heheh. But people like to do coconut and passion fruit a lot.

[Biomecha]

Ohh, those sound nice. Passion fruit is kind of tart, right? I wind up never trying it because of the seediness.

[mdom]

In the sourness scale it's less than lemon, but much more than orange xD My family likes the taste though.

[Biomecha]

That sounds like it might be good. I think they use it a lot in Bake Off as well. But might be the sort of thing that works better when used with other things if I remember correctly?

[mdom]

My sister loves it as a juice (with tons of sugar of course) but yeah, as a dessert with chocolate it's very good! Also I find the name in English super weird because we don't call it 'fruta da paixão', we call it 'maracujá', which is probably some native word.

[Biomecha]

With chocolate would probably be awesome.

What's even more strange is the oil from it is popular in skincare, but they usually refer to the maracuja name.
