Since this appears to be an edible, of the candy/snack variety), I thought I'd ask here.
I have before me a McMinville, Tenn. newspaper from January 2nd, 1881, which contains a brief story about Billy and Tommy, who, one Christmas Eve sneak out of bed to try to catch Santa. Well, as the story goes, Billy taking fright at the scary shadow of his sister's doll flickering on the wall by candle-light, lets out a yell and jumps behind the chair.
To ease their excitement, the boys proceed to empty their stockings of all the goodies they contain (sounds like a good idea to me!) Ashamed of his panicky reaction, Billy wants to make sure Johnny wouldn't spread it around:
My question is about thise "n...-toes." What are they?
