    What candy's name is derived from the French for "you spoil us"?

    Question #56539. Asked by RaeRae55. (Apr 07 05 7:24 PM)

    		Some people say that nougat is derived from the phrase "tu nous gâtes" (you spoil us), but the OED and Chambers prefer to derive it via Provençal from the Latin "nux" (nut).

    		Thanks for the help I would have never guessed. Nougat sounds good to me.

    		I thought it was Fererro Rocher. Like those terrible adverts.
