Meaning of "taffy" in English

Taffy is a type of chewy candy made primarily from sugar or molasses and butter, which is boiled, pulled or stretched, and then cooled to form a glossy, sticky treat. It's often flavored with various ingredients, such as fruit or vanilla, and can include colorings to make it visually appealing. Taffy is especially popular in seaside towns and is sometimes known as saltwater taffy, even though it typically does not contain seawater. This sweet treat has a long history in confectionery and is synonymous with fun and nostalgia.

Meaning of "taffy" in French

In French, "taffy" refers to the same confections as it does in English—a sticky, chewy candy made from sugar, butter, and other flavorful ingredients. Known for its elasticity and glossy sheen, taffy often comes in a variety of colors and flavors. The French language doesn’t have a widely used native term for "taffy," and the word is generally borrowed from English. This type of candy might be likened to other chewy confections, and while not as common in France, it carries the same appeal when mentioned, suggesting treats often enjoyed by the sea.
