  1. Barley sugar

    Barley sugar is a traditional variety of British boiled sweet, or hard candy, often yellow or orange in colour with sometimes an extract of barley added as flavouring. It is similar to hard caramel candy in its texture and taste. Barley sugar was often made into small spiral sticks, and the name is therefore sometimes used for the Solomonic column in architecture, and twisted legs and spindles in furniture, stair bannisters and other uses. The OED describe it as "a confection, usually in twisted sticks, made from sugar, formerly by boiling in a decoction of barley"
