Denmark?

Need a bit of backup for this statement, please: "The krembo was invented around 200 years ago in Denmark" Randal Oulton (talk) 21:33, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like that statement is probably spurious, any objection to deleting it? Apau98 (talk) 18:59, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Kushi" / "כושי"

I just wanted to note that "Kushi" doesn't just mean "African". It's a derogatory word, somewhat like the N-word, though it's not as harsh as the N-word (probably) since we don't have enough people with "African" dark skin in Israel.
I'm guessing - well, hoping that some of the reason they changed its name was that it was offensive.
This comment is not worth noting in the actual article but it is probably worth noting here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.64.134.207 (talk) 14:46, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is, in present days, a derogatory word which has roughly the same meaning as the English language Nigger. However, 60 years ago this wasn't the case. There's even a famous children book from that time which starts with "Look kids, here stands Alikama happy and joyful. Do you know why? First he's Kushon and second he's black. Third he knows how to ride an elephant." TFighterPilot (talk) 19:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Kushi" does not mean "Negro" in Hebrew! That is completely wrong! "Kushi" in Hebrew means someone who came from kingdom of Kush (Sudan), and it became a synonym for people with dark skin! Its translations is by no means "Negro"! In the last 20-30 years or so it became a pejorative term, but still, its initial intention is by no mean a "Negro" cake, but a black cake! This also present in chocolate cake being traditionally referred to as a "Kushite Cake"!

Jordenese?

it would be probaly very intresting seeing Krembo in Jordan or Mivtza Savta in Arabic, but both are Israeli, that should be fixed, as well as "Kushi" is in Hebrew, and as well Krembo. --Yamisrael (talk) 07:35, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NOT chocolate

"Krembo is the name of a chocolate-coated marshmallow treat" (from the article). This is wrong. Chocolate by definition must contain coca butter and Krembo does not. It is coated in Tsimkao which is a Compound chocolate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.168.65.29 (talk) 23:21, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that the content is Marshmallow and not whipped cream?

I live in Australia and in my desperate searches for a Krembo I found some similar European (english?) candies which were the closest to Krembo but have Marshmallow interior which is much more sticky than a real Krembo. Are you sure that Krembos are filled with Marshmallow and not whipped cream? Amos Shapira 11:47, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

I wish I had a package in front of me to confirm if this is still true, but its not marshmallow, its essentially meringue fluff. I had to check about a decade ago when introducing the snack to my friend who is vegetarian, so I can't back this up with documentation, but it doesn't contain gelatin, so it can't be marshmallow, and I remember seeing egg white as an ingredient. 174.160.3.80 (talk) 09:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
