JPi have never in my life heard turkish delight referred to as "Narnia Cubes" but this is probably what i'm calling em from now on
Viss@jplebreton i am henceforth calling turkish delight 'narnia cubes' hahah
Cassandrich@jplebreton The idea that a kid would sell out for such a bland and deceptively named treat was the most unbelievable part of that book.
DB SchweinIf you think Turkish Delights is bland you have only had terrible Turkish Delight. That's very sad :-(
If you're expecting a gummy bear it's nowhere near as cloying, but instead you get a rich nuanced flavour (my favourite is the traditional rose), enhanced by the powdered sugar exterior. It's *so* good!
@deirdrebeth @dalias i have had good turkish delight before, and yes, it can be quite good! if i encounter a random place with it in the wild it's still a crapshoot, of course, but that's true of several foods.

@jplebreton now referring to the bible as an Aslan kind of story

This may be the first time I've ever disagreed so hard with an XKCD! Very sad.
Rick Beetham@uexo @jplebreton loved it when I was a kid, LOL. Still do 😉
Matthias Rex 🦣@jplebreton I can't be on either side of this controversy until I've tasted some.
karobit@jplebreton looking at them i immediately thought of minecraft. betrayal voxels.
Nicky🦨✌️@jplebreton i think we should adopt this new name because i can’t stand the loukoum-turkish delight debate. 😂
contrasocialThis is how I know of Turkish Delight and it took me well into adulthood to ever try it, all the intervening time believing it was this delicious thing.
I mean this with the utmost respect to the Turkish people, but Turkish Delight is deeply disappointing.
Ms Ngo@jplebreton Best thing about Turkish Delight is it's not made with gelatin, but just starch. Much more pleasant texture; Trader Joes makes similar fruit jellies with no gelatin that are excellent.
I'll take mochi, warabimochi, or turkish delight style jellies over gummy bears any day.
@causticmsngo 💯, imo mochi is one of the best food textures created by humans
Phangurl Di 🖖@jplebreton I begged my mom to get me some one Christmas because of the book. We found some at Macy's in NYC. It was pricy and disappointing. But now I suspect it was because of the manufacturer. It wasn't fresh. It was boxed.

"Narnia cubes" is what the White Witch would have called them ...

@jplebreton Miss White Witch? May I have more Narnia Cubes??
Sara Feir@jplebreton @acarson Oh yeah! Narnia Cubes! I remember when I first had Turkish Delight in my twenties, I was so excited to eat food that I had only heard of in a book!
