Turkish Delights , there are so many kinds. But the most interesting thing in the movie is, the word ASLAN also, its also a turkish word, meaning LION.

PS: try Turkish Delight not from industry, you should try it from the Big bazaar especially in the old city of istanbul.

Maybe the craze for turkish delight is over ever since the movie Narnia, but mine just started a month ago when my manager flown back from Turkey from a meeting (I’m from Malaysia). And guess what, she bought back boxes of real Turkish Delight all the way from Turkey! There were many flavors, very colourful indeed and aromatic. Pleasant sight and even more pleasant when eaten.

Ever since I’ve tasted the real stuffs and not able getting them in this country so easily, I decided to make them myself. My plan to make them has been delayed but I was strong-willed. Finally, I managed to gather all the ingredients as stated in online recipe for turkish delight http://video.about.com/mideastfood/Turkish-Delight.htm. It has video attached and after watching the video (which seems so easy to make) I was rather encouraged to try out the recipe. In fact I tried the recipe for the first time yesterday. This morning, I removed the jell-like pasted from the fridge and to my utter disappointment, it was a disaster. The turkish delight is supposed to be held together when cut into cubes but mine were runny or syrupy. Something could have went wrong during the process and when I search in the web, I found this very useful site that share many tips for successful making of turkish delight http://www.kitchenexperiments.net/2006/12/very-turkish-delight.html. Perhaps I’ll give it another try, once I buck up my courage :) Happy thoughts!

I spent my summers with my god-father in Saudi Arabia and loved the stuff they sell in the spice markets. They sell it at the World Market stores here in the U.S. too, just not the same, the Orlando store stocks it year round but the San Antonio one only carries it at Christmas time. So you’ll have to check your local store for availability.

I am from England and as a kid my favourite sweet was Fry’s Turkish Delight. Once I got past teenage I didn’t like the processed taste. Then after I met my wife she weaned me off milk chocolate onto the real dark stuff. I can happily eat a bar out of nostalgia once every few years, but it is no longer the best thing going (by a looooong shot :). Real turkish delight is definitely a delight. Delicate, perfumed, nutty witha curiously sticky consistentency like nothing else on earth. The real thing is certainly one of my favourite sweets. Right up there with but utterly different from Belgian chocolates.

I just tasted authentic Turkish delight flown in from Turkey by a friend. It is amazing, delicately gummy, and comes in several flavors. The friend chose from all the types he saw in the marketplace. The best are the red (rosewater) ones. They are all dusted with powdered sugar slightly coconut flavored, and have pistachio bits in them. We can get something somewhat similar called “Aplets and Cotlets” from a manufacturer in Seattle, WA, but they are tougher and less perfumed-tasting.

When I was growing up in Logan, Utah the Bluebird Candy Company made Turkish paste (or Turkish delight) chocolates. The paste was made in several different fruit flavors, and I really liked it as a child. It was fun seeing it in the movie, and when my children asked me what Turkish Delight was, I could tell them.
