狗屎糖 (Dog Shit Candy)

{Disclaimer: Photo taken with mobile phone}

 

This is a real item, folks!

It's a specialty of Sichuan Province's Ya-an City (四川省-雅安市).

 

Just in case, one thinks it's a packet of dog poo....it's actually......a Peanut Brittle Candy.

 

Story goes that during a tough period of time in this region, the people here were so poor that they had nothing to barter for money.....so poor even, that they couldn't even barter some peanut brittle candies for their kids.....so the adults could only hoaxed their children into believing that the candies were in fact, dog poo.....which eventually led to the namesake.
