In German it's Mäusespeck = Mouse Bacon
You're viewing a single thread.
In Dutch it's also marshmallows, but also commonly spek (bacon), spekjes (bacon pieces) or spekkies (in this case it's clear you're not talking about bacon).

Which with some imagination can be similar to bits of bacon. Marshmallows are somewhat similar candy so the name is used for that too at times.

In our local dialect it's "nunnebiln" ~ nonnenbillen, which I'd translate to nuns buttocks.
We also have nuns farts, but that's another sweet for another day 😆
