Turkish Delight ("loukoum") has long been a favourite confection of mine. Indeed the rose-flavoured ones are traditional, but I particularly dislike anything rose-scented and so stay away from those ones whenever possible. Likewise with the spearmint-flavoured ones, though I don't dislike spearmint as a rule, but I find it to be particularly strong when it's in loukoum.

I used to love "Big Turk", but alas; the milk chocolate would do me in now. Every so often I allow myself fruit-flavoured ones (which I prefer) or the plain ones with pistachios in them (okay too, but I prefer the fruit-flavoured ones). Lovely stuff!

I've thought off and on to try and make some myself, but there was something daunting in all the recipes I located on the 'net, though I can't recall what it was. I should take a look again. Thanks for jogging my memory!
