I grew up on "turkish delight" in Washington state, home of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Orchards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Orchards which makes "Aplets and Cotlets", Turkish Delight flavored with apples and apricots. (It's incredible)
- jasonmp85 11y agoAs much as I like those, it is a veritable sin they won the "official state candy" over Almond Roca.
- jff 11y agoYou can get Almond Roca everywhere but Aplets and Cotlets are a pretty WA-specific thing, I've never seen them outside of the state. Those and the Idaho Spud are my #1 treats when I'm back home.
- khiddy 11y agoAmen to this. The tour of the factory in Cashmere is worth the drive, if only to get to eat free samples!
- djur 11y agoWow, I mentioned Aplets and Cotlets on another thread. I didn't realize that they actually are Turkish Delight (that is, based on a recipe for lokum). They are delicious! As a kid I envisioned it as kind of a sticky, tender, caramel-y confection, like a nutty blond fudge. But from now on I'll think of it as Aplets and Cotlets.
- maaku 11y ago"Aplets and Cotlets" is exactly what I always though Turkish Delights would taste like from the books.. and something I really enjoy myself once I had the chance to try it. I'm a little confused about TFA...
