Taffy Pulling
This was one of my most favorite activities! We went to this folk village and got to pull taffy. We split into pairs - Mary was my buddy - and they gave us a lump of the dark brown candy. They showed us how to pull it and, if you do it right, it gets ropey and tan. Mary and I were on the end and earned a lot of attention from the cute little Korean ladies who worked there. We were so proud of ourselves! Once we finished, we got to take it with us - yum, it was good! It's made with rice and barley and is much less sweet than our salt-water variety, but it was very tasty. Fortunately/unfortunately, there are no preservative chemicals in it, so it doesn't keep very well. It didn't even last long enough to bring some home to my candy-loving hubby.
