Many years ago I had a Turkish coworker. Every Christmas she went for a trip home, and brought back real</> Turkish Delight. I had never understood why anyone could be excited by it until a had the genuine article, so I understand your pleasure.

I *discovered* baklava (and kataifi (sp?)) in Turkey, and have devoted much of my life to the futile search for somthing similar over here.
