Turkish delight (sweets)

Turkish delight (Turkish: lokum, Λουκούμι – loukoumi Greek:), also known under the English name Turkish delight, is a sweet treat that many in Turkey, Cyprus and Greece inBalkan countries such as Albania and is eaten.

The delicacy consists to a large extent of sugar, fruit, coconut and jelly, sometimes with some nuts (such as almonds , hazelnuts and/or pistachios), and can have different colors. ==Trivia[ Edit] ==
 * To this candy is the book Turkish delight by Jan Wolkers, which is made into a film under the same name.
 * Turks fruit plays an important role in the book the Enchanted land behind the wardrobe from 1950, part of the Chronicles of Narnia. This put the translators for problems, since the sweets in the 1950s in Netherlands was hardly known and there is no English name for existed. 1956 the translator translated it as Turkish nougat (as well as nougat is Turkish delight from rectangular blocks). The translator of marzipan made of 1983, perhaps to avoid association with the novel of Wolkers.
