what IS turkish delight?

Turkish Delight (lokum to the Türks) is a gelatin-type of sweet thing covered ın powdered sugar. I think the traditional flavor is rosewater but there are a million types to buy. There are also non-traditional versions that are marshmallow-y and have nuts or are covered in coconut. I used to think I hated Turkish Delight but I had only had the Cadbury version in London. That one is covered in chocolate and the gelatin bit is too gooey. The real stuff is pretty good. I don't think it's worth shipping boxes of it back though...you'll have to come to Turkey!
