Turkish Delight is popular all over the world. Due to its wide variety and unique flavors, it is deeply loved by people around the globe, making it another world-renowned calling card for Turkey. The Turkish word for Turkish Delight is LOKUM, meaning "comfort for the throat," because this sweet can bring you a taste of sweetness and happiness.
Worldway Group has learned that as early as the 15th century, the Turks in Anatolia began making Turkish Delight. By the 17th century, the reputation of Turkish Delight had spread throughout the Ottoman Empire. In the 18th century, Europeans began calling it "Turkish Delight," and it started to become popular in Europe. As for why it is called "Turkish Delight" in English, it is said to stem from a story. A British man once loved Turkish Delight so much that he bought a crate of it, transported it across the sea to the UK on a ship named "Turkish Delight," and named the sweet after the ship. Soon after, the sweet became widely popular and famous throughout Europe.
Literature lovers should know "The Chronicles of Narnia," where Edmund enjoys eating rose-flavored Turkish Delight. One bite of such a sweet makes one feel "delighted" just by looking at it. The White Witch conjured this candy for Edmund, and after a few bites, he betrayed his siblings and became a little spy for the White Witch. Moreover, in real life, Turkish Delight also has famous fans. Picasso used to eat Turkish Delight while finishing his works. Churchill and Napoleon loved Turkish Delight with pistachios the most.
Although Turkish Delight with pistachios is loved by celebrities, it is not the representative flavor of Turkey. Because Damascus in Turkey is rich in roses, Turkish rose water is very pure, making rose the representative flavor of the sweet. With the continuous development of the times, people's demand for a variety of flavors has gradually increased. On the original basis, Turkish Delight has introduced flavors such as pistachio, hazelnut, almond, walnut, coconut, orange, pomegranate, strawberry, etc. As long as the flavor is not mixed and the sweetness does not overwhelm everything, they are all delicious.
In ancient times, the method of making Turkish Delight used flour and honey or glucose, while the current main ingredients are these three: white sugar, starch, and water. At the same time, to make the taste richer, various fruit juices and nuts such as hazelnuts, pistachios, and almonds can be added. When starting to make Turkish Delight, first mix white sugar, starch, and water in a certain proportion, then boil for a period of time, pour in the roasted nuts, and finally pour the boiled syrup into a tray. After it cools down, sprinkle powdered sugar or shredded coconut on top.
In addition to being eaten as a dessert alone, Turkish Delight can also be eaten as a snack with coffee or tea. It can also be eaten with Sauternes, fortified wine, Chinese yellow wine, cognac, and gold/black rum. It is also suitable to be paired with single malt whiskey with obvious sherry notes.
