Who knew?
Pretty much anyone over 30 in the English-speaking Commonwealth of Nations, I would wager. Certainly I've long shared the reviewer's bewilderment at the idea that anybody would sell his soulr the stuff

I discovered the Cadbury Turkish Delight bar in childhood and my response was pretty much "yuck". However, in my twenties I found a little store in Toronto which sold Turkish Delight in sugar-powdered cubes, and tried it again. I liked it - not enough to sell my soul for it, certainly, but I would eat it again.
It's probably a matter of taste, on many levels.

I like Turkish delight. A student gave me a box when she returned from visiting her family in Istanbul. I thought it was delightful. Not having a soul to sell, I can't vouch for the worth of a box of Turkish delight.

Hmm, I suppose if I were a woman, I'd be a gap-toothed one.

Sorry. My ex-mother-in-law has a quirky, kooky habit of taking a word or a phrase from any conversation and singing out a line from a song that contains that word or phrase. She did that at least ten times a day. One of the many things I love about her. I guess I was channeling...

This reminds me of a game we played a couple of years ago: somebody posts lyrics and then the next one takes a word from that set and posts another set/line/quatrain in cluding it. Is that how it goes? Anybody wanna start (let's limit it to the Latin liturgy in honor of the season............ J/K  )

I'm with the one who is neither leonine nor of the wardrobe clan - the choc covered bar is sickly and disgusting, which put me off the whole idea until I tried the genuine article later on in years. By then of course my soul was long since parlayed... Both the taste and the texture are unique. I can quite understand the subtely would be lost on many Americans of the sweet-toothed culture.

Does that mean turkish delight is more unique than something which has merely a unique taste or a unique texture?
