Turkish Delight appreciation post

Look at it:

Turkish Delight has a wonderful texture and taste, so wonderful that I made an entire post to appreciate this squishy delicacy. Sometimes it is flavored with rose water, and sometimes lemon! Sometimes you can dust it with fine coconut flakes or powdered sugar!

It is a symphony of flavors, bursting inside your mouth the moment you take a bite. The combination of rose water and powdered sugar is an immaculate experience, and leaves you wanting for more. This is my favorite recipe for Turkish Delight https://www.thespruceeats.com/turkish-delight-521388

Most people know it as the tantalizing jelly sweet from The Chronicles of Narnia that made Edmund sell out on all his siblings (poor boy, you can't blame him, sugar rationing was common during the war in their time, so the first thing that would cross his mind would obviously be a very sweet confection) Of course, Turkish Delight might taste weird to weak palates and those who haven't been exposed to many flavors. In that case, one thing is clear: If any of the various Narnia portals make their way across the pond, the White Witch will have to diversify. Over here, we can maintain our integrity in the face of sugar and rosewater gelatin. We’ll only consider selling out our families for marshmallows. Or baklava. Or stuffing, chocolate truffles, pink Starburst, nougat, Watchamacallit bars, or cotton candy. Narnia is doomed. And that's my take on Turkish Delight!
