Have you tried Turkish Delight? Do you have a favorite variety or brand I should try (when I give up my January healthy ways?)

Sounds good! I had heard of it but I didn't know exactly what it was! The things I learn from your blog! :)
Is that the stuff you brough home for Christmas? If it is, I can go without Turkish Delight. :) Not that it was yucky, but it wasn't great.
The only one I've ever tried was very powdery. I had no idea it came in a variety of options.
Cheers!
Every now and then I have a yen for turkish delight - I like the lemon and rose flavoured one. But I don't go out of my way to find it. What an amazing variety there is over there!
Hi Jamie,
I think that any healthy eating plans would be going out the window if I lived within walking distance of these sweet shops. I've never had Turkish Delight, but anything choc encrusted has to be good :)
Take care and good luck with the healthy eating!
Happy week to you!
OMG you're going to need luck and fortitude and will power. Yum. That first image is wonderful-a peek inside the window and the lights providing a great line across the top.
Happy day Jamie.
I've never heard of Turkish Delight. I'm going to have to look into it, although I'm not sure where I would find it around Des Moines...
you've made it all look very pretty but I still hate the texture of turkish delight! the fun is in trying them all I suppose!
Yum!! I haven't had Turkish delight in years...have you tried the Rose flavoured kind?? Unusual, and might take a bit of getting used to, but I loved it :)
While watching "Narnia" the other day,Edmund requested Turkish Delight from the White Witch, #1 I wondered what it was and thought I should email you to find out if you had tried it yet. Apparently, I just had to be patient and my questions would be answered.
I have never tried it Jamie, but I'm with you!
If it involves chocolate, I'm in!!!!!
oh I lOVE turkish delight. about 3 hours from where I live is a small town of Cashmere washington and they make the aplets and cotlets which in most states only comes out at christms time. they are soooo yummy so when you get back to the states and have a craving for them you will be able to find them.
You had not had Turkish Delight before?!! I must have missed the dark chocolate variety (sigh)... it will be a long wait before I make it to Turkey again.
I prefer anything with chocolate and nuts! ;-) I love that display and I'm somehow glad I can't reach into the screen to take some! :-)
I did have Turkish Delights before. A student brought some from Turkey at one time, and they were amazing. I don't know the type though, I didn't even realize there were some many variations. I just ate the little box he brought with him.
Stay strong in your healthy ways. (but once in a while let your sweet tooth have fun too)
That Findikli lokum always confused me...It's like a marshmallow with pistachios. I never much understood its relationship to the other lokums (Turkish delight). Confused, even still.
It should be decently easy to eat healthier in Turkey. Just avoid that butter sauce on the Iskender kebap!
