Fry's Turkish Delight

12/4/2013

Comments

 
We are 4 days into our 31 consecutive British Snack reviews.  For the entire month of December World of Snacks will be reviewing one treat from England every single day.  Starting in January, you will be able to buy all of the British Snacks we are reviewing this month and have them shipped to you in the United States or anywhere in the world!  Each month following we will add a new country and their treats to our online snack store.  So let’s take a look at Fry’s Turkish Delight.
Frys Turkish Delight
Our British Snack that we are reviewing today comes in a small, slightly heavy, rectangle bar shape wrapped in a shinny light purple wrapper.  It appears the brand is “Fry’s” if you rely solely on the first impression.  We know from our previous look at Fry’s Peppermint Cream that Cadbury owns the brand and has so for quite sometime.  Fry’s lengthy history and name recognition is probably the reason Cadbury decided to stick with the Fry’s distinction.  Now that we know what this snack looks like, lets move onto the taste test.

So apparently “Turkish delight” is something that exists outside the US.  To be honest, we really had no idea what we were getting into.  Even after a little research we still ventured into this British Snack taste test with no real understanding of what this candy bar would taste like.  The traditional Turkish delight snack is also known as Lokum and can consist of chopped nuts bound by gel.  Traditional varieties are mostly gel and can be flavored with orange, lemon, or rosewater. 
Cadbury’s version of Fry’s Turkish Delight is the variety that is mostly gel and from our first bite, we quickly figured out that this version of this mysterious foreign snack is flavored by rosewater.  In our travels around the world and on our search for the best snacks anywhere, we have yet to encounter rosewater in a candy bar.  So what does rosewater taste like?  Well, like roses!  The initial impact of rose-tasting firm gel coated in chocolate really caught us off guard.  Although it was unexpected and a little shocking, as we continued to eat the Turkish Delight it became increasingly pleasant.  Our taste test panels included my partner, our 11-year-old Director of Taste, and myself.  Both my son and I enjoyed Fry’s Turkish Delight. However my partner did not. 
...you will be able to buy Fry’s Turkish Delight online and have it shipped to you...
If you’ve followed our progress over the past year you know this is where we conclude and decide if we will stock the snack in question as a part of our normal inventory.  This month however, all snacks we are reviewing will be included in our inventory.  In just a few weeks you will be able to buy Fry’s Turkish Delight online and have it shipped to you, no matter where you live.  Since this is World of Snacks, we will be adding additional countries each month.  If you’d like to see a particular country’s snacks included in our store be sure to vote here or send us a message.  Also, leave your details to the right and we will keep you updated on our progress.

01/01/2014 UPDATE:  The Turkish Delight is now available for purchase online in our international store.
