  1. Not in the U.S.; not real Turkish Delight anyway. I have a friend in Australia who has sent me some before.

    Word of warning: a lot of candy flavors in Australia tend to be a little odd. They have flavors like Rose and Musk. Others are perfectly normal like Lemon. Make sure you read the labels before you buy!


  2. Aplets & Cotlets are the same thing basically. You can find that almost anywhere.

  3. in Narnia from the white witch.

  4. lol, I had one of those in my local grocery store in the "oriental" section. They were quite nasty though.

  5. ebay

  6. Wow, don't hear too many requests for this one ;) !

    I used to make these at the Hyatt, they are awesome!  First of all let me tell you something.  Turkish Delight, the ones that are made in Turkey are the truest form and taste.  Anyone from Turkey will attest to that.  Thank goodness we had a pastry chef from there that helped us, but I cannot give you that recipe, but I can give you this one, but it is still not what is considered "true".

    On another note, here is a link to where you can order it :)

    2 c  Sugar

           2 tb Cornstarch

         1/2 c  Toasted nuts, chopped ***

                Confectioners' sugar

       lemon. ** Food coloring: red, yellow, green or orange

       (depending on flavoring used) *** Nuts: almonds or

       pistachios (We used pistachios & rosewater)

      

       Dissolve sugar and cornstarch in water.  Add cream of

       tartar.  Boil to 220 degrees F.  Cover pot the last 5

       minutes.  Add flavor and food color.  Add nuts.

  7. Try this on-line shop:

    The best Turkish delight brand is "Divan", and this brand is sold in U.S and U.K, but I don't know exactly where. If I learn, I'll edit my answer or send you an e-mail. Divan is a Turkish brand and its made in Turkey. Do not rely on the The Turkish delights ("lokum" is it's Turkish, btw) which are made outside Turkey. There is a huge difference.

    Turkish delight with double roasted pistachio is the most popular.

    "Haci Bekir" is another famous brand, the oldest at least. Haci Bekir's production of Turkish delight goes for export to France, the United States, South Africa, Germany and England.

    Here is another on-line shop for turkish delight. This on-line shop actually is the fav. of Turkish expats in the U.S.A:
