| 词汇 | saltwater taffy |
| 词源 | saltwater taffy. The traditional story here has a storm and flood striking near the Atlantic City boardwalk, ruining the sweet chewy taffy the owner had left overnight in his candy stand. Not to be bested, the candyman sold his wares as saltwa- ter taffy, which it remains today, a little sea water used in its preparation. All we really know is that the first printed mention of saltwater taffy is 1910. |
