... that confectionery in the English Renaissance marks the transition of sugar from a medicine to a sweetener? Source: [1]

Comment: This is my second DYK nomination, so I believe I am still exempt from the review requirement (and frankly, I don't feel confident enough just yet to do that). There's probably a lot more possible hooks here, if needed I can think of some more.

New & long enough, hook checks out, well-written & referenced. Earwig only finds ingredients. But given the subject, this should use British English, & the various "flavor", "mold" etc should be changed. Johnbod (talk) 18:15, 9 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Good point. @Johnbod I have tried to change spelling as good as I could according to the MOS and added a template for British spelling. However, I'm not a native speaker and not quite sure what all the differences are. Could you check if I missed something? --LordPeterII (talk) 09:59, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Done, plus added some links. Johnbod (talk) 19:07, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, that was helpful. Does it mean you'll accept the submission now @Johnbod? --LordPeterII (talk) 10:20, 14 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

GTG. No qpq needed. Johnbod (talk) 14:45, 14 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
