Turkish Delight or Lokum......
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Delight
A display of Turkish Delight in IstanbulTurkish Delight, lokum, or loukoum is a confection made from starch and sugar. It is often flavored with rosewater and lemon, the former giving it a characteristic pale pink color. It has a soft, jelly-like and sometimes sticky consistency, and is often packaged and eaten in small cubes that are dusted with sugar or copra to prevent sticking. Some types contain small nut pieces, usually pistachio, hazelnut or walnuts. Other common types include flavors such as cinnamon or mint.
Origin - A tray of Turkish DelightReay Tannahill suggests that the Persian confection ahbisa (jelly) was the ancestor of Turkish rahat lokum, the long name for the sweet.
According to the Ali Muhiddin Hacı Bekir Company of Istanbul, founded in 1777, lokum was popularized by them during the 19th century.
Lokum was introduced to the west in the 19th century. An unknown Briton became very fond of the delicacy during his travels to Istanbul, and purchased cases of lokum, to be shipped back to Britain under the name Turkish Delight. It became a major delicacy not only in Britain, but throughout continental Europe.

This is the first V10 spider I've ever seen. And I must admit, it looks very much better than it's coupe sibling.
This is coming from a guy who doesn't usually like soft-tops.
I'm not big on flowers, probably because i'm not very good at shooting them - anyway, being forced into learning on holiday - i gave it a bash. These shots don't really feel like they belong to me - but i kinda like them!
Next few days are all about flower power!
