smores are only an american thing?

Somehow while googling a few things, I found out that smores aren't common in places other than America. Even if it started here, how hasn't the idea spread? How can anyone live without trying a smore?? Sorry if this seems like a useless thread. I just love them.

Coincidence you should bring this up, I was talking to my mum about this earlier, she'd never heard of a smore. But when I was travelling I lived with a canadian for a while and she was astounded we'd never tried smores too. Just to clarify its a toasted marshmellow sandwiched between two biscuits and a piece of chocolate right? I think it is mainly an American and Canadian thing.

We have s'mores at camp/when we're cooking on a fire, right at the end we toast the marshmallow and put it in the biscuit =)

I'm veggie so haven't had marshmallows for years but one day I will fork out for veggie marshmallows and do it again. I miss you s'mores...

I'm thinking it's just a north american thing. I saw a cool thing at the store today: a smore kit(made by a canadian company). What's your favourite chocolate for a smore? Mine is Lindt milk chocolate.

So...does a grahm cracker classify as a biscuit? I only know biscuits to be like...toasted bread/buns, but I know it's different in europe. Are grahm crackers an american thing too? I can't imagine it being a smore without specifically a grahm cracker...I've never had one without hershey chocolate either, but I'm sure any kind would be good. Here they even sell flat square marshmallows just for smores...but I think they'd be hard to toast over a fire without falling in.

We tend to use digestive biscuits which I think are the closest thing we have in the UK to graham crackers.

MMmmmm smores. Our technique has always been to toast a marshmallow, slide the hershey chocolate into the middle of it, then sandwhich the whole thing between two graham crackers :) But personally I prefer it without the chocolate. I've never thought of it as a solely american thing, what else would you eat camping? :P

the word digestive sounds weird...but it does sound similar to a grahm cracker. :) How do you get chocolate in the middle of the marshmallow? That sounds difficult...and sticky. Is toasting marshmallows at least common in Europe? Because if it's not that's just sad.

There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

I've also heard of them but never tried them. They look like a bit of a faff to put together.

I've toasted marshmallows over a fire before - but then we just ate the marshmallows on their own.

And yes, to most of the world the name 'digestive biscuit' sounds kind of disgusting.

I've eaten smores my whole life (and have never lived in america) but never heard them called smores until I moved to canada.

Also, having grown up predominantly in mainland europe we used these nommy biscuits with chocolate already on them:

my brother used to put a marshmallow on a digestive biscuit and put it in the microwave lol. It was good. I've never really thought to put chocolate with it.

I've toasted marshmallows LOADS though. At camps and late night BBQ's we'd always toast a few marshmallows on sticks. Nom.
