a question for our British colleagues

If you were in Washington tonight at 10:30pm you could find out...

Because all this is getting to be too much, and if she'll only eat the poisoned one, he can get some time off and live *his* dream

I love turkish delight, never had a poisoned one though.

In the recipes I've seen, it's a flavoured cornflour gell, cut into cubes and rolled in icing sugar or the like. It's yummy, but I haven't tried a poisoned one either.

A soft sweet confection, almost jelly like, lightly flavoured with rose water supposedly and covered in icing sugar to sto it being sticky. The popular Fry's Turkish Delight is coated in chocolate.

I thought it was chalices that were typically poisoned actually.

Why do you ask ?

Graham

Well, I read a lot of English literature, and the stuff is always poisoned, except in one childrens' book, where it's merely drugged. I guess if people aren't allowed to have guns, they have to resort to Turkish Delight. After learning what's in it, I think I'd rather be shot.

You'd probably really hate these things:

Yikes! Is it too late to repeal NAFTA?

John

Fry's

Try haggis

Dirk

Fry's

From the description, it probably smells real good, but it kind of looks like The Maggot That Devoured Cleveland.

Cheers! Rich

Yes, Yes and it tastes good too!

Just don't ask how it's made.

Dirk

It's really best not to think of that too much ! I eat it myself once or twice a year.

Black pudding's not much better really either and they go together well.

On a visit to Neve's Scottish manufacturing plant at Kelso in the 'Borders' they served haggis and neaps in the canteen one day. Chips seemed to be obligatory with it too ! I had a portion of course. As one with Scottish roots it would have been unthinkable not to and it helps bond one with the locals too.

Graham

Fry's

It's quite pleasant actually.

You must have a curious choice in English 'literature' btw ! Never come across it in a book myself.

The only childrens' books I have any more are the Pooh Bear ones naturally.

Graham

Fry's

The same as our version it seems.

Graham

haggis or Cleveland ???

Cleveland has not a river fire in years !!

Fry's

it in

Lord Peter and Miss Marple both encountered poisoned Turkish Delight. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, it was enchanted and addictive.

Why is it all I can think of is "Bonomo's Turkish Taffy"?

;-)

Perhaps you should ask why yours are always poisoned.
