[montymint]

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

The lion, the witch and the wardrobe.

It'll take you until 2025 to get around to buying it

Horrible (just like Turkey, worst holiday ever)

I’ve never heard The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe described primarily as a Disney movie before

It was more for the younger audience to make a connection. I first watched the cartoon that was made before Disney got it's claws into it

It has to be covered in powder though rather than in chocolate

That’s my experience. The stuff I’ve had wrapped in chocolates, in selection boxes etc I’ve hated.

We then got some for free with the bill in a Turkish restaurant covered in powder, and I thought what the heck I’ll try it, and to my surprise I really liked it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Freefaller]

Yep. Can't get enough of it when I go to the middle East and Cyprus.

I'll eat the crap cadburys version which probably doesn't taste anything like the real thing, but the big authentic chunks, no thanks

Turkish delight from Turkey is much better.

A bit like Bakewell pudding which is completely different to the commercial Bakewell tart. No icing etc

 

[darkgen]

It is jelly in disgrace.

When younger I used to love the boxes of lemon and rose ones that came with about a lb of icing sugar in the box. The chocolate bar Turkish Delight is rank and the devil incarnate. I have had a couple of times Turkish Delight brought back by people who have been on holiday and some was very nice and some was just okay.

 

[Blackjack Davy]

Can't stand it myself.

Do even Turks themselves eat that stuff?

Apparently it originated in the sultans palace or something, can't remember the story now but it definitely has its origins over there

 

[Hotwired]

It looks pretty and that's the best part of it.

 

[EGuitarStar]

Looks appetising but I find the stuff horrid

 

[NoobCannon]

hideous stuff. Would rather lick my own letterbox

 

[robfosters]

My grandad used to love the Fry’s stuff. Him and my nan used to spend Saturday nights watching a video from the rental shop with a Turkish delight for grandad and a flake for Nan. Copious amounts of Tetley tea were also drank.

 

[builder22]

the frys/cadbury version vs proper version is a bit like crisps - prawn cocktail crisps - actual prawn cocktail

 

[Craig R]

Absolute banger.

DAAAH.... DAH DAH DAHDAH DAH
