the only reference I have ever seen to Turkish Delight is in The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe-- I've always wondered what exactly it was!

Nope never made it and never will. A few months ago I was in a candy store, there was a pretty decent British section, a lady asked me what Turkish Delight was like. I described it as perfumed sticky jelly. She put it back on the shelf.

I looked at the recipe and decided it was more involved than I wanted to be!

Here in the USA, we have a version called applets and cotlets. It is all good. Real Turkish delight is very good. The rose is my favorite.

My mom used to buy Cotlets, which were similar to Turkish Delight. I don't know if they make those anymore. I thought they were good .

Our grocery store sells it in the "British" section. It reminds me of Aplets & Cotlets (yum)

It is a jelly type candy. Sometimes it has nuts and can come in many flavors. It is not as sticky as our jelly candies.

You can still get Aplets & Cotlets. The factory is just over the mountains from me! Aplets & Cotlets

ahhh... now I get what you're talking about! I seem to remember having that kind of jelly candy when we would go to visit my great-aunt and uncle's house when I was a little kid. (I also seem to remember I didn't like it, but then, I was a little kid and my tastes have changed since then.)

Mmm, I love real Turkish Delight. It's been a long time since I had any, so I know what I'll be hunting down tomorrow. I think rose is my favourite flavour too.

I love rose turkish delight but not enough to bother making it! Love Frys turkish delight too, which is a more jelly like centre covered in chocolate. Cadbury used to make chocolate covered turkish delight too but they discontinued that earlier this year here.

I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe before going to England with my mother and sister. When I found some Turkish Delight during our trip, I bought it, and loved it. The one I had was Rose.
I have seen a recipe, but as someone else mentioned, it looked pretty involved, I've never made it. Probably never will.

I've never made it and probably won't. I've tried the applets and cotlets, and honestly did not care for them at all. However, I LOVE the Fry's Turkish Delight. At first I wasn't sure, so I had another just to think about it some more . Then I was hooked. I think it's kind of an acquired taste, but I really like it. I used to be able to find it at World Market, but it's been a long time since I've seen it there.

In US. Never heard of applets and cotlets.
Have gotten Turkish Delight at TJ Maxx and a few other places. Nice change from typical for a treat.

I have had it. It was okay. Nothing special. I HATE anything with Rosewater. Iranians put rosewater in every freakin' desert they make so I have had enough rosewater to sustain me my whole life!

I didn't know what they were (but now I want to try), but I do have "Istanbul, not Constantinople" stuck in my head. "What a Turkish Delight on a moonlit night..." You're very welcome.

I had a homemade version in a Turkish restaurant in Scotland that was delicious, but any store-bought I've tried I haven't liked.

I have this song because I have the soundtrack to the movie Mona Lisa Smile-- I'm going to have to listen to it, now!!

I didn't realize Applets and Cotlets were similar to Turkish Delight! My mom used to buy them at a specialty store. I buy them at Tuesday Morning around Christmas. I've seen them at Marshall's too. They might be there year round- but once a year is all we need.
