The Peeps of Attolia

"That waistband doesn't go with that coat," said the queen.

"As you have already noted, I was late." Eugenides bent his head to look at his waist. His coat was yellow, and so was the waistband, but the shades were not the same. "My attendants have triumphed this morning in their quest to make me look foolish. [...] No doubt in time their taste will improve."

"Perhaps if you did not order your clothes in colors that would suit a canary?"



(Would you believe that, prior to today, I'd never eaten a peep before?! The things I'll do to win an ARC of Thick as Thieves...)

They are sugar encrusted marshmallows, usually in the shape of brightly colored bunnies and chicks. They're an Easter icon in the States, and from my own experience, there appears to be two camps of people: those that love them and those that think they're gross. :) I'm an anomaly in that I'd never actually eaten one until yesterday!

Have never eaten one. I ate my first jelly bean this past year, though, so anything's possible. And I am almost 60. I've gotten adventurous.

I'm OK with jelly beans, though I'm not a candy person in general.
