C.S. Lewis's Greatest Fiction: Convincing American Kids That They Would Like Turkish Delight

quote [ Turkish Delight, or lokum, is a popular dessert sweet throughout Europe, especially in Greece, the Balkans, and of course Turkey. ]

Obviously this isn't hard hitting journalism, but I thought overall the article was pretty cute. When I was young, I thought Turkish delight was a truffle flavored with chocolate, peanut butter, and strawberry, sort of like a better PB&J. I later tasted a rosewater flavored one and wondered who the fuck likes something that tastes like a 90 year old's handbag.

Did anyone else imagine the flavor of this horrible delicacy?

She wanted to know why I was looking at an online thesaurus.

Also, she just pointed out that she didn't say that the ten minutes were a stupid waste of time. They were a childish waste of time.
