💑 About Hercules Candy
Hercules Candy has been on Steve’s side of the family since 1910(ish). When he took over in the 70’s, he anticipated after 10 years of hard work, he could move the business out of the basement and into a real storefront. Unfortunately, it took until 2018 for that to happen, but hey at least it happened! Steve and Terry own the shop, Craig (the social media manager) is their son, Cara (wrapper and shipper extraordinaire who is poised to take over the shop one day) is their daughter and Leah (who doesn’t love being on camera and is very elusive) is their oldest daughter. Karen has been working for Hercules Candy since the twins (Craig and Cara) were about 6 months old and everybody else is a new recruit. Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the 🔔 for more videos!

As a Taiwanese subscriber since the basement days I feel surreal watching this vid lol The first pulled candy was indeed flavorless cause it's called 白糖 (white sugar) 蔥 (green onion - for its shape I suppose). There is another traditional pulled candy using maltose called 龍鬚糖 (dragon beard candy) with filling inside, the texture is pretty different, though.

The starch used in the Japanese candy is most likely not corn starch. Traditional starches in Japan are either tuber or rice based. Since the video mentioned glutonous starch syrup at one point, it is most likely a starch made of glutonous rice as the base.

Remember, he’s working in 95 degree weather with nearly equal amount of humidity (I just moved back to the US from living in Taiwan after 8 years). Pretty sure the humidity is a factor on the continual softness. :) Also, it’s typical for food to be prepped in a minimal food-safety manner than required in the US. Many times you see food being prepped- no gloves or other stuff. Many Americans would see their food being prepped and walk away. You get used to it. They do clean food and things, but it’s just different. I really can’t explain. Pretty sure any vids can be found on KZfaq. Nougat is a big deal there. I didn’t see this particular candy, but it looks neat. Not super sweet. I wouldn’t be surprised that it’s not actual sugar, but rather maltose or something. Also, their brown sugar isn’t like ours- it doesn’t clump. And, corn syrup isn’t easy to find.

@@aniquinstark4347 Oh, that's a very common phenomenon in immigrant groups. The thing that make this guy interesting is that he's clearly not an immigrant and not old enough to have either dialect as a second language. A man of his age would have known both dialects for his entire life, in fact he would be part of the first generation in Taiwan that was educated in Mandarin, while living in a population that spoke both. The only other times I have seen someone switch back and forth between the two dialects in the same sentence are very limited scenarios. Like when you have an extremely elderly person that never really learned Mandarin well, since it was a minority dialect before 1949, or when dealing with someone who speaks primarily Mandarin but is speaking Taiwanese and switches because they don't know a word. In both those examples, the people are effectively immigrants when it comes to knowledge and comfort of one of the two dialects. However, this man speaks Taiwanese as his dominant dialect, you can tell by his accent when he uses Mandarin, though his knowledge of Mandarin should be perfectly fine since he was educated in it exclusively during his schooling.

@yilinlin5439 Жыл бұрын

From Taiwan and love both your channel and this traditional candy. I always watch this process when I see someone doing it and surely buy some. I don’t know the exact formula but seem like only white sugar and maybe maltose? And the essence to it is the master will seal the sugar along the length every time he fold it over as you can see his hand moves around 6:00. (Not in the first few rounds I guess.) So it will form numerous tube like structures in it. (hence the name sugar onion, or maybe you can compare it to spinach.) And the end product would be very airy and crisp, you could just bite into it with ease. And the short bits should just be byproduct at the turns since they won't be as crisp as the longer parts that keep straight in the process.

The he also forms a hole with his fingers and thumb and like guides the to last stretches into a tube as he runs his hand up and down the candy shaping to two last pulls into the tube. The he repeats a few more times. That's why there is only one big hole and several smaller holes running alongside the big one. Very unique!

Taiwan is where you can see some of the best of China Skills, since they are mainly composed of the original Chinese Rebels who took down the Emperor in the early 1900s. They ran to China when the Maoists took over China after the Allies had given China many factories and infrastructure to fight the Japanese in WWII. Then, the Maoists outlawed almost all of Chinese Culture in the 1959 Cultural Revolution horror. Thus, if you want old Chinese Wisdom and Techniques you have to go to Taiwan, Hong Kong or maybe San Francisco.

@@ydne The people within the country don't care about how China being hurt by WWII helped other countries win the war. All the soldiers defecting to the CCP and the entire countryside being on the CCP's side was due to the previous government's mismanagement of the war, anyone who put themselves forward would have been more popular than the hawkish government that advocated joining WWII and lost every major battle. The CCP just happened to be the lucky ones to put out an effort at that moment of unpopularity. I suspect the country would have even accepted Britain if britain would have somehow been in the mood for some post war expansion despite having spent the war fighting against empire builders. The group that would become Taiwan was going to lose control to anyone who came along after how badly WWII went, and they only made it harder for themselves by refusing to run an election that they knew they'd lose that led to a civil war that ended up making them leave the country. If they'd been willing to set up an election system instead of just trying to use the military to shut down the opposition, they would have still lost power because there was no way they were going to win the first election, but at least they would have had a chance at being voted back into office during the period when the CCP's farming reforms were failing.

To (2): David Yang - Do you know any history about WWII at all? The Japanese started invading areas under Chinese control as early as 1931 and years before the USA or Britain declared war on Japan at the end of 1941 a lot of China was under control of the Japanese.

For anyone interested, you can get this in New Taipei city, Taiwan at 淡水老街. Just hop on the red line of the MRT and ride it to the end (opposite way of Taipei train station).
