Turkish Delight ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Horror | 12:40 pm | 15 December 2005
The Lion, The Witch, and the Really Awful Candy just about sums up my experience with Turkish Delight. As a kid whose nose was glued to a book when not glued to PBS, I was always on the hunt for Turkish Delight and Jelly Babies. (I grew up in a world without the internet, and even the Burning Airlines catalog was even a few years away). When my grandparents went to Turkey in 1979, in amongst their treasures was a box of Turkish Delight! And ever since, I’ve figured the Witch had some pretty strong magic indeed if she could make that dreck so deadly-delicious. Somehow, I doubt there will be a candy tie-in to the film this time…
