I thought the same thing the first time I tried Turkish delight in America. But then I visited Istanbul and got to try freshly made Turkish delight, and it was ridiculously delicious. Amazing. And in so many flavors. I have never been able to find anything like it in the US. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolt. Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Turkish delight in Turkey is fantastic! I was there on a cruise ship, and one shop right in the port was giving away tons of free samples, both of the boxed kind and of their fresh-made stuff. They pressed you, like street salespeople do, to take some of each, really! It turns out they were just doing that so that you would realize that the boxed stuff sold as souvenirs was very poor, and you really didn't want any of that to take back on the ship. What you really wanted was boxes and boxes of the fresh stuff! I didn't see them sell a single pre-packaged box the whole time we were in the area. They literally stocked boxes of the stuff, just to give it away as free samples, so that people would buy what they were actually trying to sell. Incredibly savyv!

Go to Cashmere WA, to the aplets and cotlets factory store. Among their flavors you'll never see elsewhere, is rose. (A traditional flavor). There is definitely a difference between fresh, and it's been on the shelf too long. Though the family sold it last year, someone bought it to keep it alive. (they were going to shut it down) We were once there about the time kids get out of school - it was amazing how many stopped by for their daily piece of candy. I bought too much . . . .

Literally had an argument with a Pastor's wife once about CS Lewis & JR Tolkien and whether people who used imagery like that COULD BE Christian. Apparently all witchcraft is real, is never imaginary, and is designed to trick Children into following Satan. Also, she didn't trust educated people. 3 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought about it until we had to institute something similar. DS sent a text one day that said, "Can I go with so-n-so to do xyz?
