Wikimedia Conference 2017/Sweets of the world

The Candies from all around the world at the conference in 2017

Panoramic view of the candies

Every year at the Wikimedia Conference, the participants bring sweets/candy from where they come from to the conference to share with others on the table of Sweets of the world. But what are the various sweets on that table?

This list serves multiple goals. First, you get to learn the names of the sweets on the table. Second, you get the opportunity to read more about the candy. And last but not least, you can write articles about the sweets in your local language. As a bonus, just like in the WikiCheese project, you get a chance to taste them as well!!

Enjoy!
