If this is how the Turkish people enjoy treats, then that seems like a country of good times. This isn't the first time I've ever eaten Turkish Delight in my life. The first time I tried it I was in Istanbul lost on a bus with my mother. We wanted to go to the Blue Mosque (which is completely strange because it seemed a little more white than blue), but we had boarded a bus going the wrong direction and couldn't speak or read a word of Turkish. A nice lady on the bus that spoke English told us that we where going the wrong way and she told us that she'd take us there. On our way she decided to show us a candy store that had been open since before Jesus was born. There I tried some Turkish Delight that would blow your socks off.

These cubes are a little more gummy candy like than the stuff I remember from my travels when I was a kid. The flavours of these Turkish Delights are a little stronger and a little fruitier as well. I also think the jelly is a little more solid than I remember. I don't think these differences ruin the treat at all, and I'm sure the solidity has more to do with shipping than anything else. Basically, I think these are pretty tasty and I'd get them again. I'm pretty sure as well that my memory of the Turkish Delight in Turkey is a little bit clouded with the grandness and adventure of the whole situation, we found ourselves in.

Oh, and by the was the Blue Mosque was really cool too.
