Chocolate is a relatively recent cooking ingredients for gnomes, having been imported from human lands.

Crunchies were invented accidentally by Pukkamay, who was Deelie's assistant before his sacking. He started a successful crunchy making business before dying in a bizarre Terrorbird accident.

When Pukkamay first made toad crunchies, everyone thought he was mad. 'Chewy toads, in crunchies? It'll never work' they said - how wrong they were...
