A different kind of Turkish delight
Roaming the streets of Istanbul, and back alleys all over Turkey are mounds of Turkish delight confections. Some look as though they may have been boxed to sell when Bekir Effendi, the inventory of Turkish delights started up at the end of the 1700's in Turkey. Armed with a keen eye and an even better nose in Istanbul's historic Spice Bazaar, I found the grand daddy of them all-pistachio "mountains."
