    Not everything that is brown has to do with Nazis. But I guess there *were* Nazis that ate Nougat.

      My guess is, that “Nougat” was forbidden in Nazi germany (because it had to be imported from the “bad guys”). And therefore I guess further that they had to find a german name for a similar product that could be manufactured in germany, like “Haselnusscreme” or something like that.

      Although, I have to admit that you may technically be right.

        No, Haselnusscreme is Nutelle (and similar things) and Nougat is… well.. Nougat. This sticky stuff inside pralines mostly.

          In Norway, nougat refers to a mix of chocolate and nuts, very similar to Nutella.

    Now you got me curious. OI JARVIS!

    Wikipedia says it’s made of sugar/honey/something, nearly any kind of nut, and egg whites. Hm. Well, less freaky than gelatin. (Appetite spoiler alert: You don’t even know what animal it’s from, nobody has to say.)

        “Hydrolyzed animal protein” is also a key ingredient of high end shampoo – for those who do not want to deal with real poo….

    Nougat is just sugar whipped with egg whites. Made by Nazi Sympathizers.

    Your option 1 is actually not all that far off from how it’s made. But, yeah, the gnomes are neo-Nazis. Neo-Nazi gnomes. “Neo-Nazi Gnomes” is NOT the name of my next band.

    Wait – do you mean white nougat (which would certainly resemble leftovers from the sea) or brown nougat, which would be, uh, brown? Maybe it’s like this: The former is the original form, made from the fruits of the sea, whereas the latter is what it transforms into when handled by up the friends of N.S.? Because they’re all nuts?!?

    That Nazi mustache is new…but I still hear Scruffy the Janitor’s voice . . . now with a German accent.

    I love how you took Nazi sympathizers literally. That’s hilarious!

      Thanks! It was such a dumb idea I knew I had to use it.

    It’s nougat! It’s fluffy, it’s chewy, it’s partially hydrogenated…
    (This is a reference absolutely no one will get. Ever see Peter Cottontail the Movie?)

    As a nougat enthusiast, I can assure you that despite loving the candy for years I have absolutely no idea what’s in it.

    Nougat is what’s holding half your candybars together.

      The other half is mostly carnauba wax, and I have no idea what that is either. [googlesearch] Oh, its palm tree sweat. =/
