On a much sweeter Note

If you're a softy for anything sweet (like me) then you will most likely
drool over these pictures of the heavenly Turkish Delight, above.
This is a mouthful of pure bliss, and I couldn't resist it as a child.
As yet I haven't come across this yummy bit in Switzerland, but I
caught sight of something similar at our Autum Fair, although it was
labeled Turkish Delight, it was most definately not the same.
My thanks goes to Helen Morgan for this mouthwatering picture!


Then came Baklava, yet another, most unusual sweet treat.
This consists of a sweet nutty ingredient, nestling between a bottom and a
top layer of a syrupy and flakey dough - absolutely devine!
I was always under the impression that this sweet treat comes from
Greece, because as a child, Mom would buy a few slices from the Greek
shop on the corner.
Here in Switzerland we don't have many Greek citizens, but we have
many thousands of Turkish immigrants, and that's where I've discovered -
once again, after many years, the delicious Baklava.
I found these on Bettisue's Flickr pictures, thank you ! !

Come to think of it, if Turkish Delight or even Baklava was

served on that plane, we would have all been treated with

a sweet smile. (snigger)
