one that’s widely available in the
United States.

I’ve seen them at Japanese grocers

and Aji Ichiban before, but never
packaged just for Americans. And
certainly never in these sassy little
three puff portions.

Enter GudFud. They’re here to bring us the Asian foamy sweets. They’re
packaged to look like they’re Japanese (terribly cute and with Japanese
characters on the label, what they say, I know not) but they’re actually made in
China. I tried some before and wrote about them here.
The name is a little wacky, and rather
Germanic with the umlauts (GüdFüd). Call it
fusion! It’s supposed to be pronounced Goood
Foood.
I’ve never considered jelly and marshmallows
“food”, but perhaps I can start thinking of them
as “foood.”
The little individually wrapped Fruit Jelly
Stuffed Marshmallows are a bit smashed
when inside the package but fluff back up
pretty quickly. There’s a lot of packaging, which
I guess I didn’t notice at first because it’s
mostly clear. The fruity ones were cute and
once unwrapped, completely identical on the outside.
The jelly center is where things get different. The jelly is smooth and soft, not
quite flowing, but not quite firm like an “orange slice” would be. Really, kind of
like the jelly you’d spread on your toast. The flavor is mild, a little tangy, not
terribly complex ... just, well nice.
The mix of fruit and marshmallow isn’t really great in my mind. So I tried
toasting a package or two. They toasted nicely, though the center didn’t get that
molten consistency that I’m used to with Jet or Kraft marshmallows. The
marshmallow skin puffed well and browned (well, one caught on fire, but
consider it a sacrifice to the marshmallow fire god). Still, the toasted flavor and
jelly didn’t really grab me either.
