Like divinity?

Yes, exactly. Except I don’t think I knew what divinity was, then. I clearly had seen it, though.

I assumed it was akin to nougat. Then I went and looked it up (back in the pre internet days when this meant “going to the library”) and was perplexed

Yeah, me too. I envisioned it as white, creamy, and looking something like Danish wedding cookies.

I pictured something like baklava, which I had seen but never tasted.

Honestly, a couple of my sibs I would sell down the river for some really good baklava. That’s more about them than the dessert, but it is some damn tasty stuff.
