I was first introduced to these lovely candies when I was 15 and living overseas by a Goan friend. She would bring me a few everyday - I was hooked! I'm 40 now and still remember how I loved these candies and decided to search for them at my local Indian grocer. All I could manage to tell him was that they were a "Pan" candy in a green and red wrapper. Needless to say, my grocer kindly asked for me to provide him with an actual name. Luckily, my search on Amazon yielded immediate results and now my friends and family get to indulge too. I have read other reviews that describe this candy as tasting like "soap"...I beg to disagree but admit they are probably an acquired taste if you're used to a bland palate of Budweiser, burgers and burritos! Give these a go if you're adventurous!
