I live for Turkish Delight. I love it. Put a one pound box near me, and its contents will vanish within 10 minutes, if I don't exercise extreme self-control. The best is with pistachios. It is fabulous, and is probably reasonably good for you, consisting, I guess, mostly of water and protein.

I like this line of reasoning. Following it, Tennessee sipping whiskey must be good for you, in that it is made mostly of corn and water.

Actually, any kind of alcohol must be good for you, because alcohol kills germs.

Note to FS,

Now that things have cooled down here, I would like to point out that "to be made from" and "to consist of" are not equivalent terms. Following *your reasoning, inhaling auto exhaust would be refreshing, because it is made from oxygen.

Isn't it lovely that "things have cooled down here" and we can poke one another good naturedly without risking the ignition of WWIII? Happy Christmas, which consists not so much of presents and parties but of good wishes.
