We used to have Marathon bars here in the states that were pretty darned similar - although I agree that English chocolate is so much better than ours.

Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer >>Turkish Delight is gross. It's like eating jelly roses<< dwb, there are a couple of variants. It sounds like you were eating the more traditional version. (still yummy to me)
Originally Posted By knightnfrees <<Turkish Delight is gross. It's like eating jelly roses>> I tried it myself, chocolate covered jelly was an interesting combo. Not my cup of tea, either.
Originally Posted By smedley I love the stuff, and don't worry Shiva, the box is almost 3/4 gone, and won't be lasting much longer
Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer >>the box is almost 3/4 gone, and won't be lasting much longer << I'm glad to hear that, it really doesn't take long before it starts going stale and unfortunately many people have only had the stale stuff that has been on store shelves for months and then think it all tastes like that. *Let everyone who speaks Türkish raise their hands.* Hmmm, just ilvdland and me...
