Kali Lives!

 

It's years since I've seen actual Kali. But here it is! Standing tall next to it's pal American Cream Soda in a Hornsea sweet shop.

I adored a small bag of Kali as a kid, a more subtle taste than tarter Sherbet. 

For some reason I didn't get any, perhaps fearful of ruining my sweet memories.

Did you liked Kali readers?

  2. I'd forgotten the word Woodsy and haven't heard it since I left the North.
    Maybe it's a Northern or Yorkshire term for sherbet type sweet stuff.

    1. Sherbet is similar Mish as in Sherbet Dabs. Rainbow Crystals was another one from my youth!

  3. I have never heard of Kali but this post does trigger my memory of Barratts Sherbet Dab with it's sharpe lemon flavour.

    1. Yes, Sherbet Dabs with a lollipop were great Terran, also the liquorice version or should I say Spanish!

      Maybe Kali is a Northern thing, I'd never heard of it.
      My childhood memories were of Barrat's Sherbert Fountain. A pale yellow paper tube, full of powder. On top, a liquorice straw plugged with a bean shaped All Sort!
