Quince paste

Other names: membrillo
Spanish name: membrillo

Quince paste is made from cooked quince fruit and is sweet with a delightfully delicate floral taste. A common presentation is to serve 1/4" thick slices of Manchego cheese with a thin 1/8" slice of quince paste atop. The sweet fruit is a perfect complement to the pungent cheese. Quince has a very high natural pectin content so the paste thickens naturally.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
