Turkishly Delightful

Advantages: chocolate
Disadvantages: not big enough

...I have a passion for chocolate but I also love milk chocolate with Turkish delight. I have tried various brands but my favourite is Fry?s. Whilst shopping at Asda I was ?delighted? to find that they had Fry?s Turkish Delight on special offer. A pack of three usually cost 99p but two packs today cost me £1.50. So there I was with my boots blacked stuffing two packs in my trolley. They won?t last long though because my husband likes them too. Fry?s Turkish Delight claim to be ?92% fat free and full of eastern promise?. The packaging is made of a deep pink plastic with ?Turkish? in large bold white writing and ?Delight? in much smaller gold lettering. Inside are 3 individually wrapped bars of ?Turkish Delight?, which are very similar to the outer wrapping except they are in a very shiny shade of pink. For the purpose of Ciao...

Review of Fry's Turkish Delight

Liquid turkish delight****HEAVEN

Advantages: Low fat ,delicious,great taste,convenient,good value
Disadvantages: none for me

...As a confessed chocaholic , who has always had a thing about turkish delight , I spied this in my local supermarket and quickly bought it. Now I have always carried a bit too much of the old blubber and have spent a life time yo-yo dieting.Some times succeeding and sometimes failing . I have learned to accept myself warts and all as they say (No Idon;'t have any warts) Having said that if I can make a healthier or low fat choice with something I do try to. I have bought various flavours from the options range in the past . The orange ( outrageous orange as it is now known ) has always been my favourite . Options are made by ovaltine , so a reputable well known brand. Fry's turkish delight has been a firm favourite with me for many years but I do like traditional turkish delight ( ie rose and lemon) So...

Turkish Delight?

Advantages: Vaguely entertaining
Disadvantages: Hard to get into

...Conan Doyle. The story It is 1877 and the Russo-Turkish war is at its height. Feminist Varvara Suvorova is on her way to join her fiancé, Pyotr Yablokov, at the battle-front, when she is robbed and loses all her belongings in Bulgaria. Luckily she comes across Erast Fandorin, a volunteer who has escaped from his Turkish captors. He rescues her from her plight and they travel together towards the commander-in-chief's camp. On arrival, Yablokov is delighted to see her, but shortly afterwards, he is accused of treason against the Russian army and locked up. In an attempt to help Yablokov, Varvara becomes secretary to Erast Fandorin, and together they attempt to find out who framed Yablokov. But bigger things are also in store for Varvara and Fandorin, who along with journalists Paladin and McLaughlin and various Russian army officers...

Review of Turkish Gambit - Boris Akunin

This Turkish Delight is no Turkey.

Advantages: Nice chocolate and good amount of filling
Disadvantages: small bar nad expensive

...My mum is a creature of habit. She knows what she likes and can be somewhat reluctant to try new things. This means that her favourite chocolate bars have been a staple in our house. For as long as I can remember we have usually had Turkish Delight in our house for my mother's consumption. The form that it usually came in was Fry's Turkish Delight. However in recent years she has switched to Dairy Milk with Turkish filling. But when I returned home two weeks ago I discovered that Fry's Turkish Delight had returned. I have had a couple of bars in my life time. I quite like Turkish Delight, it wouldn't be my first choice but it is by no means inedible. You can get your hands on Fry's Turkish Delight in two forms: singly for around 45p or in a multi-pack of four for about £1.30-50. My mother bought the multi-pack and this...

Review of Fry's Turkish Delight

Fancy a Fry's Turkish Delight...?

Advantages: Delicious turkish delight
Disadvantages: Very sweet and quite sickly

...Turkish delight is something you either love or hate. Personally, I love the stuff and always have done. It is the one chocolate bar I can honestly say I buy on a regular basis. *** Product Appearance *** There is something about this bar which denotes "quality". The shiny maroon wrapper is very alluring and has a slightly mystical quality about it. If you hold it to the light, you can just make out small temples in the background, but these are very faint. The word TURKISH is written in large, chunky white letters across the middle of the wrapper, with the words "Fry's" and "Delight" in smaller gold lettering above and below respectively. *** The Bar itself *** The bar itself (if you can call it that!) is very small, 9cm in length by 5cm in width. It weighs a mere 51g, but is quite chunky in appearance. It consists of rose...

Review of Fry's Turkish Delight

Not Turkish, but delightful

Advantages: Great flavour, + 92 percent fat free, apparently
Disadvantages: Quite small, and too sweet

...Well, I'm sure these particular bars aren't made in Turkey anyway! A quick definition of Turkish delight, for those who are unsure: Called rahat loukoum ("rest for the throat") in Turkey, this confectionery, with a rubbery texture, is popular throughout the Middle East. It is made from cornstarch or gelatin, sugar, honey and fruit juice or jelly, and is often tinted pink or green. Chopped almonds, pistachio nuts, pine nuts or hazelnuts are frequently added. Once the candy becomes firm, it is cut into small squares and coated with confectioners' sugar. Speaking of Turkey...I had the good fortune this summer to spend a week there with my boyfriend and a few friends, sailing from Gocek to Marmaris, with stops at little (and not so little) towns in between. Turkey, being the country of origin of Turkish Delight (in case you hadn...

Review of Fry's Turkish Delight

Delighted to take deanos chocolate challenge

Advantages: Low Fat
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive

...Turkish Delight comes in different forms; many would say that the original and best is not covered in chocolate. You can buy it in boxes which are usually Rose and Lemon flavour and they are dusted with a white powder, I?m not sure if this is icing sugar as I don?t buy this variety. I?m afraid I succumb to the chocolate covered bars and my favourite manufacturer is Fry?s. Do not be tricked in to buying the cheep imitation ones like Sultans, they just aren?t the same! I feel that Turkish Delight is one of those sweets that you either love or hate, some people just cannot stand the jelly like texture of it and others (like myself) just devour it. The thing that grabs my attention most, especially when dieting is that they are 92% fat free, and always has been! This is displayed across the packaging in a yellow banner with blue...

Review of Fry's Turkish Delight

Delighted At My Delight!

Advantages: Delicious, low fat, fulfilling
Disadvantages: Expensive, E Numbers,

...Full of eastern promise - and more importantly full of the promise of chocolate! Being on a healthy eating lifestyle...well most of the time... is all well and good. The benefits are great, hair is shiny, body is visibly disappearing, full of energy and drive. Doesn?t stop you craving chocolate though does it? Always been a fan of Turkish Delight, the cubed kind, dipped in that soft sugar. Whenever anyone goes on holiday it?s on the understanding that they bring me back a huge box of the stuff - the good thing is all the calorific content is either non-existent or in another language - which means I have to assume it?s calorie free. I have always avoided the chocolate covered variety because of that very reason - it?s covered in chocolate. However looking for a reasonably small snack, consisting of chocolate but big enough to...

Review of Fry's Turkish Delight

Here I am Omar, have you got something for me ?

Advantages: Just about the nicest chocolate bar out there.
Disadvantages: Send Oldchem a bit strange in the head it would seem

... FRY'S TURKISH DELIGHT Cue Eastern music I don't often succumb to a bar of chocolate; I'm always trying to be 'good'. If there is one bar that will tempt me though it has to be a succulent, and luscious bar of Fry's Turkish Delight. Now I'm an old biddy but I never remember a time when there was no Fry's Turkish Delights (and since it was actually launched in 1914, I'm not really surprised!! I'm not THAT old) J.S. Fry & Sons merged with Cadbury in 1919 but their name has remained on the bar ever since; in fact I didn't realise that it was that long since Cadbury's had taken over I only ever knew the bar as Fry's Turkish Delight! I can remember the TV adverts so well for these bars from the 50's & 60's - they involved a male slave unrolling a carpet containing a glamorous female captive in front...
