A Chinese lady I met on the tour
Sue, the Chinese lady I met on the tour, samples some of the wares while the shop assistant packs her selection. (and mine). The shop assistant told us that the ready packaged Turkish Delight is not overly fresh, it's good as a gift for people you 'do not love'. (at least that's what he said). Fresh Turkish Delight, just out of the oven is super fresh, of a better quality and has a better taste. Sue wanted six packs, I wanted three, so we took nearly half an hour getting the fresh premium stuff packed, which held up our tour, much to our guide's consternation. He took his revenge by zooming off with out me at our last stop for that day later that day. (Istanbul, Turkey, Nov. 2014)
