Your post reminded me of the U.S. version of Turkish Delight, Applets and Cotlets. We used to get them every Christmas, but at some point that stopped and I missed them. I found out today that they sold the company and now they're called Harvest Delight.
I asked my parents today if they could get them for Christmas, and they mentioned getting real Turkish Delight from the Middle Eastern grocery in their neighborhood. Even better! So I may be getting Turkish Delight for Christmas, and all thanks to you. :)
Cool - always glad to add to the Xmas goodies list! I have to say that I have never heard of Applets and Cotlets! My favourite Turkish Delight is one from the E-Shed markets (http://www.fremantle.wa.gov.au/things2c/html/eshed_markets.cfm) in Fremantle - vanilla with pistachio nuts! Mmmmm!
