As a child, at about 5 years old, I went home to Moscow with my aunt from Nizhny Novgorod, where I visited all summer. We were on the night train, and in the evening, before going to bed, the conductor offered tea.

The question is, “With a coin?” My aunt sneezed positively, and five minutes later the conductor returned with two glasses and a plate.

It must be noted that for some reason, I still did not know what "meat" is... And on the plate were crops of zephyr (marshmallow), which I also never saw or tried, because it was the middle of the 90s and we lived very modestly...

The overseas delight came to my taste and the child’s brain decided that it was a “meat”.

Everything would be fine, but when I asked my parents to buy me mint for tea in the store, they first looked at me strangely, and then brought some dried honey.
