Okay. Lemmy told me that Turkish delight was gross, so I got curious and brought some. And it was awesome.

It's good, it's just not 80% sugar American candy. I really do think the hyper processed food takes away the joy of having something more complex tasting from people.

(Don't get me wrong, it's definitely sweet.)

If anything it's too sweet, to the point of cloying. But it's more of a textural thing, at least for me.

Real Turkish Delight or the chocolate covered bar thing?

Both are good imo, but very different.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

The real thing. I don't know anything about a chocolate bar.

I'm almost certain that the bar reassembles itself into its original form in your bowels. Eat one of those and you become constipation, destroyer of O-rings

That’s a very quick turnaround.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

No, it was from a different post. Several months ago.

I love Turkish delight and have since I saw and read Narnia as a child.
