Description
If you can resist a stop at one of the Turkish sweet shops during a trip to Istanbul, you are strong indeed! The sheer variety of different sweets is mind boggling! What to try first? This is a shop in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. Of course everyone knows baklava, but it is worth straying from the known to the unknown to taste some new treats. Turkish delight is quite famous. It is a family of sweets based on a gel of starch and sugar. Premium varieties consist largely of chopped dates, pistachios and hazelnuts or walnuts bound by the gel; the cheapest are mostly gel, generally flavored with rosewater, mastic, Bergamot orange or lemon. The confection is often packaged and eaten in small cubes dusted with icing sugar to prevent clinging. I wish I could tell you what everything is in the photo, you just have to go there for yourself and taste! But....once you show the slightest interest in something in the Grand Bazaar, be prepared for a hard sell!
