Difficult question indeed! I would say it’s a sweet almond paste together with sugar and honey and ….it’s usually eaten at Christmas but how can we say that in English? It’s not crispy nor crunchy not even specially delicious ( but rather tough instead) which are the most common adjectives we have to describe that kind of things in English. I would create a new name, ending -ie, XMASMONDIE? Please forget my stupidity
Language life-long learners need to fit English into their daily lives, and that can be done by finding enjoyable and interesting reasons to use it! Enjoy!
