John went on the Internet.
He thought of a new word, praline, and searched it up to find out if it was a real word.
He went on Wikipedia, and found out.
Pralines are confections containing nuts.
Would that make a cake topped with nuts a praline, then?
"I don't know," John said.
Upon further research, he found out a praline could be defined as a confection built around nuts and sugar as the main theme.
There are three main types of praline: French, Belgian and American pralines.
French pralines are confections which use pralin: a paste or powder made from caramelized nuts.
Belgian pralines are chocolate shells containing caramelized nut paste, ganache or cream inside.
American pralines are soft and fudge-like, made out of nuts, sugar and cream.
"I want to try all three of them."
