    I’ve had store bought Turkish Delight.

    It was awful.

    Same for the stuff in those gift basket dried fruit arrangements. Horrible. Even chocolate assortment boxes might have some. Just as horrible. Always left uneaten if you figure out which one it was.

    I took it upon myself to make some at home, rose flavor. No nuts or anything, just the candy part.

    It was lovely. Light flowery rose smell, sweet, soft chew, with a confectioner’s sugar coating. Awesome with a good black tea. Do recommend 100%. If that is what Edmund had I’d understand.

    I have no idea why the store-bought stuff is vile.

      Most preservatives I know of would overpower any kind of floral flavor
