The Most Delightful Turkish Delight


I like this photo best - that's why it's first.

Where does one find the most delightful Turkish Delight? Turkey, I suspect. Actually, I know. About two years ago, a woman in my dad's office went home to Turkey for a vacation and brought back some real Turkish Delight. The most delightful Turkish Delight that I have ever had. I bought the candy seen in these photos today - at Corrado's Family Market - and it's the best I've had since. I've only ever tried one other variety (excepting that first real stuff), but as that was a travesty of epic proportions, finding a comparable option is blog worthy (or maybe not?).



Isn't the suspense just killing you?



Not yet unveiled...



Almost.



I ate a piece. Sort of wish I had gotten the bigger box.

I believe you can find them in Indian stores as well. I've seen and had the pistachio things. The sugar part was always my favorite.
Never seen the other ones though. Are those hazelnuts?

Duh. Okay, I just read the box. They are hazelnuts.

I've never had Turkish Delight!!! But I've wanted it ever since I read the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe! (Though for a while I thought it was a made up sweet...you know, like Marzipan!)
