(1) Dumbledore: "Would you care for a sherbet lemon?"
McGonagall:
"A what?"
Dumbledore: "A sherbet lemon. They're a kind of
Muggle sweet I'm rather fond of."
McGonagall:
"No, thank you."
(2) The sherbet lemon has a citrus taste and is sour and also tangy. The sherbet in the middle explodes, making the sweet
suddenly more sour.
(3) Dib Dab is a small packet of sherbet with a
lollipop. Once the lollipop has been
licked, it can be dipped into the
sherbet.
(4) Flying saucers are small discs made from edible coloured paper. They are typically
filled with white unflavoured
sherbet.

Hi guys!
The inspiration for today’s word comes from watching a
YouTube video made by the lovely Emmy (or emmymadeinjapan). In this clip, Emmy
eats and talks about UK candy. Skip to 04:33
and 12:10 to watch Emmy eat sherbet-based sweets.
Have a great
day!
