Customers enquire about Turkish sweets
A group of Arabic tourists are given an explanation about Turkish sweets by one of the store assistants. Two forms of Turkish sweets are famous around the world- Turkish Delight (usually cube or cylinder shaped sweets rich with corn starch, sugar and pistachio nuts) and baklava. (string hopper like sugary sweets). Baklava is layery, flaky and messy, and usually dripping in sugar syrup, so is best eaten at the store or cafe. Turkish Delight is however dry and though usually resting on a bed of powdered sugar, is more portable. You have hundreds of stores all over Istanbul proudly announcing Turkish Delight for you to buy and take home. (Istanbul, Turkey, Nov. 2014)
