Default Turkish Delight, WTF is that about ?

Went for the Fruit and Nut and got some Turkish Delight by mistake, euggh, would rather have Prawns or Winkles inside, who decided there was a market for Old Ladies perfume flavoured chocolate ?


I am going to chew on a Slug to take the taste away.

You'll need turps and a wire brush.

I think the more pressing concern is how you managed to mistake a turkish delight for a fruit and nut . One is in manly chunks one clearly isn't even when covered in chocolate.

It is pretty nasty.

I ate a full tub of it when I was about 7 and was ill for a week, so can't face the cack now.

Turkish delight is awful. It is perfume flavoured gunk.

Having said that, when I used to go to Turkey I was asked by various people to bring some back.

I'm sorry, but a Turkish Delight is a chocolate covered Blood Clot.


A bit like Olives are the Devils Bum Grapes - God help us, utterly utterly revolting things.

Maybe they should rebrand it as "Cadbury's Milf Tray" if the old lady thing appeals ?

I can't stand Turkish Delight - even the smell of it makes me heave

It doesn't help that my neighbour is a little old greek woman, and she always makes the stuff, and passes a plateful our way.. I don't have the heart to tell her it's rank so I just put it straight in the compost bin...
