That would be a good starting point, anyways.

Well, I *thought* it came in an octagonal box, but maybe it was hexagonal. It wasn't square. But anyway - it might be called "Sultan's Turkish Delight". I have a link in I think my second post above to the regular rose kind of that brand.

Hmm. I found this, but the order process is on the sketchy side: https://spritessl.netnation.com/~turkishd/order.htm

But I may have to try it anyway.

I like that they offer a 1lb assortment with the book the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Give them a call. I bet they're a mom-and-pop business with a really, really simple website.

I thought this was going to be a thread on The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe. Funny how you automatically connect certian phrases with books and movies.

It was indeed the first thing that came to me. For some reason, when I was a kid and read TLWATW (for lack of a better acronym), I thought Turkish Delight was some sweetened turkey-ish dinner thingy. ops:

[Edited for spelling ops: ]

Hhahahaha. When *I* was a kid, I thought it was something between a marshmallow and bubble gum. Mostly because of the cartoon version of TLWATW. :P

Whoa ha ha ha. My favourite candy. And it is available at a little shop on the ground floor of my apartment building :devilboy:

The owner of a shop is an english lady living just next to our apartment. This lady and my wife are shopping companions, so we tend to get lots of confectionaries for free. And one of her specialty is turkish delight

p.s. How do you properly address a lady from england? english lady? british lady?

I was almost ready to call off the wedding and head back home. In the end I've gotten used to not having it, but then again, sometimes, it's kinda tough.

K.

Talking about Ferrero, when I was a kid, I remembered eating Ferrero chocolate balls filled with liquors. Now everytime I see a Ferrero, it is a chocolate ball with peanut. Bring back the Ferrero Choco Ball with Liquor !!! :mrgreen:

Well, even if no one knows where I can get fruit-flavored Turkish Delight, I hope that these links help somebody in North America find candy that they've missed.

well i know where to get Turkish Delight whenever i want, just any food store on my way to work
this is the beauty of living in Turkey, the food is delicious and fresh

and bealive me there are so many kind of candies which are more delicious than Turkish Delight! i reraly eat it, rather i prefer better ones like dolama, kadayif sütlaç etc.
