    Turkish delights tend to be terrible. Insanely chewy and sticky, floral and just unpleasant. I also tried some sweet “goat cheese and spice lollipop” candy from mexico i didn’t care for much.

    Black licorice fucks though. I’ll stand with the swedes on this one.

      Avoid pretty much anything that has rose water as an ingredient then. That’s what gives Turkish delight the floral flavour and you will recognize it instantly.

      That being said the Big Turk chocolate bar is such a bad shitty Turkish Delight it’s almost edible

        Rose water is meh, but the worst part of turkish delights is the gelatin style chew. I also have a mild walnut allergy which makes them taste “scratchy” to me, so i doubt that helped when I tried it.

        Yes to both, although i’ve only had the salted licorice a couple of times. I’m betting some brands would kick my ass, but so far so good.
