Poll: Turkish Delight

[Hilly]

It’s the worst

 

[something daft already!!]

If you go to Turkey, is it just sold as “Delight”?

Its called Lokum there.

Rose is a perfume.

So is lemon but I don't think lemon tastes of perfume.

 

[montymint]

It's absolute garbage.

 

[Craterloads]

No don’t like the texture (jelly) nor the floral / purfumey taste.

Matai on the other hand is amazing

 

[drakulton]

Mixed with a little water it makes excellent wallpaper paste.

The poll has changed...... and just put me off pancakes.

You do know Rose is only one flavour of many.
Tangerine is my favourite followed by pistachio.

 

[arc@css]

Yes, I like it a lot though I didn't know there were other flavours.

Horrible stuff. It can get in the sea along with twiglets, peanut butter, liquorice and bounty chocolate bars.

 

[mysticsniper]

Love it, full of Eastern promise

My favourite was Creme De Menthe. Came in a hexagon shaped box, with huge chunks of Turkish delight, covered in sugary powder.

 

[Chris Wilson]

Do even Turks themselves eat that stuff?

 

[Armageus]

Yes. I mean the proper stuff, not the chocolate rubbish you get in a newsagents.

I love both - the chocolate covered stuff is great, but so is the powder covered version.

 

[Craterloads]

You do know Rose is only one flavour of many.
Tangerine is my favourite followed by pistachio.

That is true, I just remember them more vividly.

Now that you mention the pistachio I recant my previous statement

 

[Lopéz]

I like both the powdered and the Fry's version.

 

[uber soldat]

Pancake definitely.

You are clearly AI as everyone loves peanut butter, even people who are allergic to peanuts

Oh god, I remember my mum having that

 

[azazl187]

What Disney movie was it where someone is offered Turkish delight and it looked insanely good to eat!?

 

[builder22]
