Big Turk
This week, I received a package from one of my favorite Canadian bloggers, Gwen from "Kill the body and the head will die". In her enclosed letter, she said that she thought I might enjoy this different type of Turkish Delight. Crazy Canadian!

In the UK it is more square, less poop looking, but much the same otherwise, yum.

I saw the fear. Should've stopped reading right there.
I don't know who's a bigger idiot… oh yeah, I do.

Yay! It got there okay! And I'm the favourite! (You forgot to mention that I sent you other, far more awesome chocolate to make up for the Big Turk. Because I'm a fucking sweetheart.) How was the curly wurly by the way?

You need to hire an assistant to taste this shit for your first. :cock:
How is that smiley a cock? Does your cock look like that because none that I've seen do. I'm a little scared now.
Don't answer that.

ooh…How about a favourite Swedish treat? lol I will get that out to you when I get my
Gilmore boxsetmoney for school.Reply
I love that this has turned into "Send Adam random weird shit and watch him eat it"!

Adam, nice job finding a map of Canada in French!
Gwen, hurry! Send him some Poutine, and he'll be yours forever!
Reply
She sends you stuff? All I get from Gwen is offers to fuck me.

I think the chocolate would balance out the jelly stuff.
Guess not.

fuckers. those manufacturers are screwing with my childhood image of turkish delight. make them stop!
i think i am now scarred.

hey, my little canadian gnome showed up here! (yay, jester, for setting my ass straight!!) guillermo keeps me from drinking alone on my back porch. now he can keep me company on your blog.
damn, i have issues.

This is going to be fun. To see all the strange things you get now to taste.
Reply
Hm. Even my presents are cooler than yours.
Reply
"Turkish Delight" my ass. Now if it were some code name like a "Happy Ending", it would be different. I say we kill the fuckers for false advertising.
Reply
The only thing I can say is…ewwwww.
Ewwwww.
Chocolate…with jelly?
Ewwwww.
Reply
You were brave. Too bad it was nasty.

Amanda, I know!
Michael, yum?
Aargh, mmm mmm blargh.
Beth, exactly.
Mary, well, it ain't me!
Gwen, that's true. You did send other candy. The Curly Wurly was okay. The Creamy Fudge was my favorite, probably.
Peggy, only when I put sunglasses on it.
DaDuck, is Swedish food actually edible?
Gwen, maybe we should make that a regular feature.
Robin, it's from 1845, too.
Mr. Fabulous, clearly, I'm the favored one.
NYCWD, no it just hides it until one shattering moment.
Hello, I like your new avatar.
Trish, yeah, this could be a good feature!
Britt, no they're not. Except the one I got you.
Luaren, apparently, it is a code name. For crappy food!
Lisa, not just jelly. Thick, unpalatable jelly!
TMP, I took one for the team.
Reply
yes, yes it is. You may not like what I send…*evil mastermind grin* but it is edible.
Reply
btw, are allergic to anything?
Reply
That is creepy, I don't like stuff hidden in my candy.
Reply
ew. poop with jelly in it. EW.
Reply
DaDuck, no allergies, nope!
Robin, not even razor blades? Those are my favorite.
Crystal, yet it sounds so appetizing!
Reply
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and smells like a duck…. just 'cause it's coated in chocolate doesn't mean it won't taste like shit!
Some lessons are just harder to learn that others.

coal miner's granddaughter owes me a new keyboard! HILL-arious.

Gladly! To what address to I send this keyboard? Hee hee!

I always wondered what Turkish Delight is.
Now I know. Slice a turd in half. Note the contents of your turd. Compare to Turkish Delight.
Reply
Well ok, those are fun but only for special occasions.
Reply
Wow. So I guess you can't cover everything in chocolate and make the nasty go away.
Strange. That was a fantasy I held for years and years and years… and years…
Reply
Did you just call yourself a big Turk? *giggle*
Reply
HA! So you are not completely politically aligned with the Kurds in your opposition to Turkey.
Reply
Dude, there is now way that you're only 30? Come on tell the truth, 35? 37?

Cranberry jelly?

Your map is from when Texas was an independent country.
Reply
So I like Turkish Delight!
Maybe I should send you a can of Spotted Dick to try.
Reply
CMG, I'll still try it, especially if it's coated in chocolate.
Hello, you should know better than to drink anything while reading my blog and the subsequent comments.
Absurdist, exactly!
Robin, like church bake-offs and stuff.
Amy, me too!
Poppy, I did? How?
Jay, kurds or turds?
Kris, well, my balls look 37, but that's mainly because of the wrinkles. Yeah, I'm fucking 30.
Lynda, no, it's this jelly-like substance that tastes like old playdoh.

AWESOME! I always said we should secede again!

Post title: BIG TURK.
Reply
RW, yeah, it's from 1845.
Michael, I've heard that's horrible!
Absurdist, please do – the rest of us don't want Texas either!
Poppy, that's the name of the candy.
Reply
Do you think I'm a retard?
I was making a joke.
Reply
I think you've been hitting the cold medicine a bit too much!
Reply
I think you just don't "get" me. I have absolutely no cold meds in my bod.
Reply
Ha! Rarely do I laugh out loud at people's posts, but you got me, Adam. I had to share it with a coworker even.
I've never tried Turkish Delight… I don't think I'd ever seen it before. I had this mental picture of some kind of whipped foam-type candy, and now I must adjust my thinking. Never will I try this stuff. It even looks like ass.
Reply
Seriously? You guys don't have Big Turks in the US&A? They're so good – and low fat – and they make you giggle as you're eating them cus they look like chocolate covered curvy logs.
Reply
I am seriously going to have to send you some Graeter's ice cream. The price, though, is outrageous! Hmm… how would you send some ice cream through the mail, thereby skipping the actual company's methods? Does that make sense?
You would love it. Do you have a favorite flavor?
Oh – and there's a reason the turkish aren't internationally known for their cuisine. Ha -maybe it should be called "toches" or "tuckus" delight.
Reply
Now, if there were BACON in that thing it'd be an entirely different story!
Reply
So really the moral of the story seems to be that you'll put anything in your mouth.
Also, a question about the smilies – why isn't the one that's going down on the other swallowing? What a wuss.
Reply
Ugh. Big Turk was gross when I was a kid, I imagine it's gotten worse over the years. Just like pixie sticks or lik-a-maid.
Reply
*blink blink*
Lik… a… maid?
Reply
Poppy, except for your brain.
Mel, that's how I pictured it too!
Jasmine, maybe in the states up there so far North that they might as well be Canada, but not here.
Sybil, I'm a fan of chocolate. And I have no idea about properly shipping ice cream.
Bobgirrl, even the wonders of bacon couldn't fix this one.
MyWeeWorld, pretty much.
Sourpuss, pixie sticks are good!
Poppy, yeah, those candy sticks that you would lick, then put into the packets of sugar and suck the sugar off.
Reply
Yeah, Poppy! Get your mind out of the gutter & learn to use Google! hehehehe
Reply
I assure you, I know how to google. I just like it better when people tell me stuff sometimes. And, … I also liked pointing out how obscene that candy sounds. Not that the US has a better name for it (dip sticks, n'est-ce pas?)
Reply
Sourpuss, although, the idea of a "lick a maid" is strangely appealing.
Poppy, it's called Lik-a-maid here in the US, too, in some places.
Reply
oh, that looks gross!
