I did try Turkish delight one time. It's okay, nothing amazing and nothing I'd eat more than one of at a time.

But it's fine

IDK what people are on in this thread; rosewater is a traditional flavor (one not suited for the modern palate) but you can make it in whatever flavor you want.

Tt's basically just a giant jelly bean with no outer shell, and if you get it in a good flavor it's pretty tasty

Pommegranate and orange flavours slap

Huh?

Rosewater ice cream is 🔥🔥🔥

Piogre314 ,

back in the day people thought rosewater flavor was the shit.

Today it still has its fans, but like anchovies on pizza, most people today have different tastes and don't like it so much.

as a Turkish person I don't really like it either

My dad used to travel a lot in the 80's due to his job. I asked him to bring Turkish Delights if he ever came across them. I was so stoked when he opened his suitcase and handed me a fancy wooden box full of them.

This was one of the biggest disappointments of my childhood.

For the longest time I thought when people were talking about Turkish Delight, they were in fact talking about Baklava. The disappointment I felt upon first trying Turkish Delight, life just isn't fair

WeLoveCastingSpellz ,

Bamlava is great tho

Katzastrophe ,

Exactly, the disappointment was even worse in the face of that

Do you ever have days where you keep seeing something mentioned? Today is baklava for me, it appeared in like 3 different places unrelated to each other.

Truth about the Cinnabons, give me a tray of those and I'll prob tell you my mom's maiden name and social.

If you don't like traditional Turkish delight, I'm totally hooked on Fry's brand Turkish delight.

the chocolate crunch and the chew after, it's great.

It’s ok… isn’t it just like apricots and nuts or something?

Rosewater and walnut is what I've usually seen, often powdered with like icing sugar or something.

Mmm my mouth is watering already.

imPastaSyndrome ,

You thinking of baklava?

@Zeppo@sh.itjust.works avatar

Not at all, that’s phyllo dough layered with honey and nuts

imPastaSyndrome ,

Hmmm 🤔 I guess I was wrong

I'm sorry. But yeah, I was thinking of this fudge-like thing my parents used to get that was some sweet fruit puree with walnuts or pecans. I think it was green or something (maybe pistachios??). But it appears I was incorrect and Turkish Delight is more like gelatin cubes, like a gummy candy.

imPastaSyndrome ,

Yeah i can't remember what it's called but my grandad loved it

imPastaSyndrome ,

Applets and cotlets

BleatingZombie ,

You are! "Applets and Cotlets"

I like Turkish delight

WhatAmLemmy ,

You're one of those freaks who like gelatinous, rose flavoured, sugar cubes!?!

Samesies...

chumbalumber ,

It's banging; the texture and flavour are both great.

Some people just have no taste.
