    FAQ:

    – **What is the consistency comparable to?** Turkish delight comes in a [wide variety of consistencies and flavors](https://img.itinari.com/pages/images/original/1d79669f-e544-4f1c-a2bc-051fb7dddea0-istock-981600168.jpg?ch=DPR&dpr=2.625&w=1600&s=22233f13ba45fa579d84720c3d3d24b4) from plain flavored “gummies” to nougat, nutella, puffed rice, & coconut! The basic texture can be similar to a gummy bear or almost as soft as jam. In WA state there is a similar thing called “Applets & Cotlets”
    – **What does it taste like?** Often people get turned off because they think it tastes like a mouthful of potpourri because they’ve only seen the rose flavor and that must be all Turkish delight. Another basic flavor is [pomegranate pistachio](https://www.gourmeturca.com/pomegranate-flavoured-turkish-delight-with-pistachio-12oz-350g-turkish-delight-gourmeturca-3720-14-B.jpg)! Give that a shot because that’s much more representative

    Meta comments:

    – *Something about betraying your family to the White Witch/Edmund/some other reference to Narnia*
    – The word “lokum” (“Turkish delight” in Turkish) is slang for toilet in Danish (“redneck slang” – like saying “shitter”)
    – Looks like meat covered in flour

    Afiyet Olsun!

    For some reason, I thought this was a made up sweet that only existed in books… 🤦🏻‍♀️ looks really yummy.
