Subject: Frisian sugar/tea

Folks,
I just returned from Germany, and while there, I had a fine Zuegener 
Schnitnel (a favorite) but at sister-in-law's home was given tea and some 
very odd sugar. It was in crystals about size of a grape (2 cm?), and they 
said it was from my heimatland (Emden).  As I was fascinated by this pretty 
and interesting sugar - although VERY slow to disolve - they ran out and 
bought me a box to take home to Missouri. Luckily it was sealed in plastic 
and undetected by both bomb and food finding dog. White, powdery crystals 
could be misinterpreted these days as some kind of drug! It was called 
Klootje Kandy suss for Friesland tea. What can anyone tell me about this 
sugar, it use/custome, etc.?  I can guess that as a byproduct of its slow 
solution rate, that it could prolong the drinking of tea as a social event, 
giving more time for relaxed converstaion waiting for it to dissolve. It 
seems to be a form of what we call rock candy, but in a more regular crytal 
conformation.

Best Regards

Karl
