What sweets adored all Soviet children and why the taste of those sweets is impossible to forget
The main dream of all children is to work in a confectionery factory. Where else can you find so many sweets as there. And when you're a kid, it seems like you're going to eat those candies every day. This was a dream for Soviet children, because sweets were not available every day. Especially chocolates. They were very expensive and bought only on special occasions and holidays. But what were they? candy: "Gulliver""Alenka", "Red Riding Hood", "Bear in the North", "Kara-kum" and many others. All the names can not be remembered, but their taste is still remembered by everyone whose childhood passed in the USSR.
And if chocolates were a scarce commodity, then all sorts of caramel, marshmallow, waffles were always available. Caramel candy, such as "Cancer necks", "Crow's feet", were produced in the 19th century. With the advent of Soviet power, only the name of the factory where they were made changed. The recipe was left unchanged. And so far, these sweets are very much liked by any generation of sweet tooth.
The most desired sweetness was candy "Gulliver" Another favorite delicacy of Soviet citizens was candy Montpensier. These little sweets that were sold in tin boxes could not leave anyone indifferent. According to some reports, the first monpensier was made by entrepreneur Georg Landrin. Candies have long been called “landrins”. Back in 1848, he founded a workshop in St. Petersburg, where these lollipops were made, and later a factory and a company store appeared. And again, with the arrival of the Soviets, the factory was nationalized and candy became Soviet.
Favorite all Soviet children marshmallow in mass production appeared only in the 50s. Before that, it was made almost by hand, so it was inaccessible. For many, it has long been associated with the New Year, because often on this holiday he appeared in the house in a beautiful box. In Europe, the production of marshmallows was established in the 18th century. It got its name because of its lightness and lightness. In ancient times, the god Zephyr was the patron of wind, impermanence and lightness. Later there was a marshmallow in chocolate and still remains a favorite among sweets.
Chocolate bars appeared on shelves in stores of the USSR in the distant 30s. What only fillings were not there: waffle, nut, caramel. And all this is abundantly watered with delicious chocolate glaze. There were both cheap options such as "International", "Goose", "Glasse", more expensive - "Extra" and the most expensive "Gulliver". But candy "Gulliver" was the largest bar of those times. Later they began to produce a little smaller size and instead of chocolate from cocoa beans began to use soy chocolate. Such sweets were called “Crane”.
To receive chocolate candies as a gift, was the real happiness for any child of the USSR. The most expensive were considered "Bear clubfoot" and "Red Riding Hood". In the filling for "Bears" added almonds - one of the most expensive nuts in the world. Import to the USSR of this nut was small, so it was decided to release another brand of sweets with cheaper ingredients. So there was "Red Riding Hood", in the filling of this candy was an affordable peanut. There were still candy "Squirrel", in its composition still remains unchanged hazelnut.
Another of the favorite chocolates of children of the Soviet Union was "Bear in the North". Dairy filling between two waffles and all this is soaked in chocolate glaze. Initially, these sweets were produced only at the Leningrad confectionery factory. Even during the siege of Leningrad, the factory continued to produce such beloved candy. In the 60s, "Bear in the North" began to be produced by various factories throughout the Union.
Today it is difficult to find sweets from delicious chocolate. All because in the USSR chocolate was made strictly according to GOST from cocoa beans. Today, cheaper substitutes are increasingly being used. But it is still very difficult to find a person who will be indifferent to sweets. What sweets and sweets do you like the most?
