 Absolutely delectable!!!! April 20, 2008
I first had this dessert(?) in Italy when our class had finished reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I enjoyed it then, and to my dismay, could not find it once I returned to the States. Then came the magic of the internet, where I finally found it!! It brought back wonderful memories. The taste is light and sweet. I am so happy to be able to order it whenever I want!!!
 Fun treat - especially for Narnia fans March 8, 2007

Before I lived in Turkey with the military, I never knew what Turkish Delight was though I'd heard of it in the Chronicles of Narnia (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe). If you've never had Turkish Delight, I would compare it to the inside of a jelly bean. It is served in small cubes and covered in powdered sugar to keep them from sticking together. The plain flavor is similar to a white jelly bean. I rated it a four because it is slightly fresher and softer in Turkey, but I was impressed with the taste. Enjoy!
Fun for our Narnia Party February 15, 2007

We purchased a variety of Turkish Delight for a "Chronicles of Narnia" party. In the book and movie, Edmond is temped by the White Witch with this traditional dessert. It was fun sharing it with the guests. Most people had never tried it (us included)! My son enjoyed it the most. It is an acquired taste. I think the guests liked being able to try something completely different. My son has asked for more (not unlike Edmond!!!)
