p. 116: Ft. Wilderness Campground Correction
In the Ft. Wilderness Campground review, reference is made to roasting
marshmallows. Unfortunately, the marshmallows currently available
at the Chuck Wagon in Ft. Wilderness (and in most mainstream supermarkets)
contain gelatin, and are therefore not vegetarian.
We thought we had found a vegetarian marshmallow--Elyon brand kosher
marshmallows--but observant reader Susan Swarts recently sent us
an email indicating that such is not the case. Says Susan:
"In the following article update: 'Ft. Wilderness Campground, page
116' you mention that "The only vegetarian marshmallows we've been
able to find are Elyon Marshmallows, made with Kolatin brand kosher
gelatin (using carrageenan as a binder)." Unfortunately, these are
not vegetarian either. The gelatin IS kosher but NOT vegetarian.
It is made with the skins of dead animals. There are NO VEGETARIAN
marshmallows available anywhere in the USA as of yet. Pangea, a
vegan shopping center, is working on getting some soon. That is
the only place that is even close to having one. You can visit their
site and put your name on a waiting list and they will let you know
when they have started production on the marshmallows."
Looks like vegetarian campers with fond memories of S’mores
will have to wait to revisit fond childhood memories. Until then,
you can still try to make your own: the Vegetarians in Paradise
Website offers a recipe for veggie marshmallows at http://www.vegparadise.com/asknettie11.html.
