Turkish Delights: Turkish Delight ( lokum,) (Armenian translit: lokhum, Bosnian: Rahat Lokum, Greek: Loukoumi), is a confection made from starch and sugar. It is often flavored with rosewate or lemon, the former giving it a characteristic pale pink color. It has a soft, sticky consistency, and is often packaged and eaten in small cubes that are dusted with sugar to prevent sticking. Some recipes include small nut pieces, usually pistachio, hazelnut or walnuts.
