Yes, it's food-related. The guessers in that forum did not have that
clue, but I wanted y'all to know it's OT here. :)

First thing that popped in my mind was Tamarinds.
(A bit of a long shot though, as a lot of things have that shape)

================================================
Too red for Tamarind I think - the tamarind at my Asian store is
chocolate brown and much shorter.
It sorta looks like some kind of tubes ffilled with tomatoes and
frozen . . . ?

It looks like a sweet made by stringing nuts and then dipping the string
in concentrated fruit juice. Popular in Turkey and Georgia. Don't know
the name however.

Exactly. It is called "pestil cevizli suçuk" in Turkish and
"churchkhela" in Georgian.

The person who posted the photo eventually said, "It's a Georgian candy

and repeatedly dipped in sweetened grape juice until the nuts are
enveloped in a fruit-leather sortof coating. A dear Georgian friend is

mchadi..."

TY. Just too lazy to look it up. Nice stuff but obviously incredibly
sweet. When cut apart, looks like jewels on a string.
