Talk:Mallomars

Wagon Wheels?

British Wagon Wheels are almost exactly the same.

We don't have Mallomars here in Ireland, but from the Mallomar pictures I've seen, I don't think they look anything like Wagon Wheels. Tunnock's Tea Cakes are very similar, as are Snowballs (though I think the latter may be sprinkled with coconut shavings)... --3kilos 15:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Summer Availability

Mallomars are not made available during the heat of summer...

I don't care what the New York Times says, I live in New York and I ate mallomars last summer. This statement is patently false. I will attempt to edit the article and I hope someone can figure out why this myth persists. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 13:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

What myth? Mallomars are not made in the summer because the chocolate melts. I've seen it said many places besides the NYT and it's been verified by Nabisco. That doesn't mean stores don't have leftover stock to sell, and I have occasionally seen them in the summer (New York native). No one stops you from selling or eating Mallomars in the summer. It's just that you can't get them from Nabisco. Alexisr 03:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Jewish connection

Seeing that Mallomars are based on the Jewish confection Krembos, explains why most of them are consumed in the New York metropolitan region. I make this statement here rather than in the article because I don't have a supporting reference, but it would be nice to add if an editor in the New York area runs across such a reference. --Blainster 18:18, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

WTF does 'ex pat jews' mean, in reference to the consumption of Mallomars in Los Angeles and Miami? Ex pat from where? New York? Is that an accurate use of the term 'ex pat'? I don't think so. Also, I don't think LA has a lot of 'ex pat' jews from anywhere. Also, I'd like to see some data to support the connection between jewish populations and the high consumption of mallomars in those cities. Anchoress 05:20, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Aren't all Jews "ex pat" from Israel, if we're going to go back far enough? --204.246.229.136 17:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

No, because the Hebrews were wanderers before they were bequeathed the land of Israel. It's probably more accurate to say they're ex-pats from Egypt. Anchoress 17:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
