Turkish delight: yeah or nay?

[Caliga]

I had some of these when I was a little kid... my grandmother got them from her gay BFF (can't imagine why he was interested in the Turks).  Anyway, from what I recall they were insanely sweet, but as a little kid it was my job to enjoy sugar so I liked them.  Not sure if I would now.

*shrugs* They just tasted like dough covered in sugar to me.  They taste...incomplete.  Not to say I didn't enjoy them as a kid- I was gonna take damn near any snack my parents and their friends threw my way.  Got quite a bit of it, too- between Fisher's Food Market (a sorta gourmet-ish mom-and-pop grocery store) and Haar's Gourmet Foods, Turkish Delight has always been easy to come by in my neck of the woods.

That dude used to always bring back Saltwater Taffy from Jersey and expect me to eat that shit too.

We Jersey-dwellers tend to inflict it on outsiders more than we eat it ourselves.

Now, fudge from the Wildwood boardwalk...

No, no it isn't.

Sure it is.

Its good stuff.
Though I must say I prefer the westernised Fries style variety to the actual original stuff.

Oh, and I hear apparently the name Turkish Delight pisses off the Greeks to no end who insist its actually a Greek thing with a significantly less appealing name.

I really don't need to say anything in this post.

Correct.

Hmm..

Taffy - candy or a sweet?

You keep affirming my belief that you are in the closet with such outrageous statements.

Only gays like fudge?

Where do you think they get the term fudge packing from, sheesh.

[Caliga]

The only packing of boardwalk fudge I do is into my belly.
