Probably not because that would be really random and maybe a little creepy. Well, I'll tell you. It's Turkish Delight. My friend and neighbor brought them when she came over to visit last night.
I apologize for the appalling lighting for these photos but, well, I had candy to eat and no time to slow down for some stupid lighting. I'm just telling you like it is.
Turkish Delight isn't for everyone but if you like it - this box will make you want to move to Turkey. It's that good. I'm one of the "do like it" people. Not the kind you get from Cadbury's but the real stuff.
I didn't try the ones in this box until shortly after she left and I had to tell her right away and in no uncertain terms that I was deeply in love with these and she was not to tell me that they actually came from Turkey.
Me: "WHEEEEEERE did you get this candy? And don't say Turkey because then I'll die because I can't get anymore."
My Friend: "Turkey. Istanbul."
!
Darn you, Turkish Delight, making me love you! So now, I have to move to Turkey. I hope they have Red Bull there. And fresh peaches. I love fresh peaches.
See that little hole near the middle of the next picture? That's the place where the first one I ate was before said consumption. After I ate that piece I ran for my camera because I had to share it with you. Now I'm going to eat the rest of the box.
I'm not kidding.

My question is: What does it taste like? My only exposure to Turkish Delight is Narnia, and while a worthwhile read, it does nothing for the tastebuds.
I'm with Jen: what does it taste like??? I've never had any either! You'll just have to move to Turkey and send me some. haha For real, there's a summer Turkey program at my school that I'm seriously considering if I don't apply/receive an internship. Om nom nom
Squeee!!!! Turkish delights! I've actually tried one before. My mom brought it back for us once and I'll never forget how good those were. Where she got them? Who knows... She does have a lot of international friends though. Just like Jen and April, I associate Turkish delights with Narnia :) maybe it's time you and Bear made a trip to Turkey, no?
I think I love all candy.
Mmmmmm. That looks quite delish!
You crack me up. I have had Turkish Delight once. I will never forget it. When will the "move" take place?
ooh, those look so yummy!!! I've never had them, but they sure look good!
I recently tried to convince my Hubs that we should do a future trip to Turkey. This post could be the clincher.
Looks yummy, but I have no idea what they taste like either.
Enjoy!
It looks like candy sushi or something. It is a sweet????
I think I just gained 5 lbs looking at those beauties. Thanks!
Oh you brought back memories with this post. Just over ten years ago I was in Istanbul and ate a LOT of Turkish Delight!! Thanks so very much for sharing!!
Every time you feel the cravings for it, whip out these photos again ;-P
