I've been watching Fourth Doctor serials recently, and one of the most famous parts of Tom Bakers incarnation is his love for jelly babies. Being American I never had any, until today...

...and no offense (especially to the British on this forum), but they taste weird. Maybe it's because I'm American, maybe it's because I have sensitive taste buds, but they just...well...I'm not going to repeat myself. :P

They are hard to chew on the outside, yet the inside is really gooey, and not in a good way. The flavors are more intense (and more fruity) than gummy bears or jelly beans. The black one tasted horrible. I'm sorry if I am not describing myself well, but explaining things has never been one of my strong points.

I honestly don't know what to make of these "treats", but if the Doctor asked me if I wanted one, I would probably decline his offer.

For the record, the ones I bought were Bassett's.

Have you guys tried a new food recently? It could be anything, from meat to vegetables, candy to absolute garbage, and anything and everything in between or outside it.
