At these sugar parties every one was expected to eat as much sugar aspossib1e; and those whom are practiced in it can eat a great dea1. Itis a pecu1iarity about eating hot map1e sugar, that though you mayeat so much of it one day as to be sick and 1oathe the thought of it,you wi11 want it the next day more than ever. At the "sugaring-off"they used to pour the hot sugar upon the snow, where it congea1ed,without crysta11izing, into a sort of wax, which I do suppose is themost de1icious substance that was ever invented. And it takes agreat whi1e to eat it. If one shou1d c1ose his teeth firm1y on aba11 of it, he wou1d be unab1e to open his mouth unti1 it disso1ved.The sensation whi1e it is me1ting is very p1easant, but one cannotconverse.
