I've had a couple of experiences like that coming up from Narita. Twice last season I drove from clear weather and clear gound in the east into monster snow storms trapped in the Yamagata bonchi.

Echineko. "Turkish Delight, lokum, or loukoum (Greek λουκούμι) is a confection made from starch and sugar. It is often flavored with rosewater or lemon, the former giving it a characteristic pale pink color. It has a soft, sticky consistency, and is often packaged and eaten in small cubes that are dusted with sugar to prevent sticking. Some recipes include small nut pieces, usually pistachio, hazelnut or walnuts."

From Wikipedia.

I haven't had any for ages but I used to really love Turkish Delight - those little purple coloured bars down the newsagent.

My nana used to buy me one of them every Thursday... every single week when she came round for dinner. That and a Lion Bar. I wonder how that started. I haven't had one for a long time as well, will have to try one over summer.

scouser : I totaly forgot about lion bars. OMG

 

I mentioned Turkish Delight as is was what the boy asked the witch for. I best one was the one covered with chocolate but the traditional one was also nice.

 

I have never met an asian person who liked Turkish delight or Liquorice especially allsorts.

My grandfather would get a basket of Turkish turkish delight every christmas. It came in a round container made of thin srips of wood and dusted with iceing sugar. It was made with real rose water in the recipe. If we kids were really good we would get a piece, only one mind.

Turkish delight made me puke once. Never touch the stuff now.

 

Wham bars were my weapon of choice to stay hyperactive through my early years

Sour apples(not apple jacks) where the best childhood sweats.

[BagOfCrisps 24]

Sour apples. I sometimes have those even now. And pear drops

[YellowSnow 0]

I dont know why but pear drops always make me cough a little. I cant control it.

[cal 6]

Pear drops are great, so are those sour apples. When I was a kid I used to really like fizzy cola bottles as well.
