Other Forms of Rock
Rock is a different product from rock candy; it more closely resembles a harder candy cane.
Edinburgh rock is another confection based on sugar and cream of tartar, made into sticks. It is friable and flavoured, for example, with ginger or lemon.
Another distinctively Scottish form of rock is star rock (also sometimes known as starry rock), or "starrie", which is made in Kirriemuir. It is sold in small bundles of pencil-sized sticks, and is less brittle than seaside rock.

Famous quotes containing the words forms and/or rock:
“I may not tell
of the forms that pass and pass,
of that constant old, old face
that leaps from each wave
to wait underneath the boat
in the hope that at last she’s lost.”

“Together, we three, until the world crumbles and there is no longer a stone or a rock or a tree or a blade of grass.”
