Well written! Your grandfather was in love with the delicacy you have described. Apricot/ nut was his favorite and he ordered it from a catalog. I have to say for my own taste a chocolate cream is the winner.

I do admit that the way you describe the flavor and texture makes me want to give it another try. Love you and your words. Gram

We fell in love with Turkish delight when visiting Istanbul and having never had any before, it's been so disappointing not to find the 'real' stuff anywhere else. Guess we need to plan a trip back to Turkey!

👏👏👏 😍🤤 also for anyone who might be reading this from California we have 2 amazing Lokum shops called “Lokum” in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara and they capture the magic of Turkish delight ✨
