    Some liquorice definitely counts as bitter to me

    something so bad nobody would ever make it.

    If it’s bad, doesn’t it stop being candy? Candy has a half-life, decaying into just “food” by the time nobody regards it as a treat - something invented to be unenjoyable can be considered to decay completely in less than a second, from the moment it gets off production line.

      Completely disagree. Show me an example of “candy” becoming “food”. The definition of candy is basically a concentrated sugar product. Lots of people hate black licorice, but that doesnt make it not-candy.

        Semi-relevant: I think that pancakes (not crepes) and waffles should be considered dessert, but here people eat them as the main course or part of the main course. I don’t know if they were ever considered dessert though.

        Also semi-relevant: fruit. Multiple kinds chopped in a bowl? Dessert. One whole singular item? A healthy snack/food item.
