Def no e for me either in that second vowel. but marshmallow was one of my favourite foodstuffs as a kid. In fact, that/those and cremola foam were staples for me.

Anyway, funny word, so I looked up its etymology: it was originally made from the root of the mallow plant which grows near salt marshes.

This is disasterous news for me: it means I actually had something natural in my daily diet. Feel I've been had somehow. Bet I now find that cremola foam is derived from brussel sprouts.

I've got two bits of bad news:

first, this and also this which reveals the presence of 'gum, acacia'. Sounds a bit natural to me.

Still, I think adding vodka to it as advocated here would be a good enough antidote to any wholesome qualities.
