It's like apple buying microsoft.com because Microsoft forgot to put an interest in first. I have checked timesonline.com and the article seem to be legit. Well I guess my dad was right all this years "This are not f***ing Turkish Delights re, they are loukoumia from Cyprus". All his staff naturally went along with him, I guess now he has the legality to keep saying it. Who knows? They might actually change the name.

So what are they going to be called in the shops?

I think Nikitas is a woman, can I watch!

We took the basic raw material and perfected it. It is ours I say

. . . we popularised it, without us Turks would not be as World-renowned for their achievements (infamy springs to mind ).

They've made us suffer so much, this is the least of their losses.

However, things like Loukoumia, have probably been invented independently in many kitchens many times over . . . like most recipes.

Trust the Turks to claim everything as their own

This is Divine retribution

Nikitas is a man, with very solid civic sense of duty, consequently when and where I am to serve this sentence! The sooner the better, I like to get my obligations seen to quickly.

Phoenix,this sounds like in which country the pavlova was first made in - Australia or New Zealand.

I reckon that if it is made in Turkey or to a native Turkish recipe,then it can be called Turkish Delight.If it is made anywhere in Cyprus,including northern Cyprus,or to a native Cypriot recipe,then it can be called Cypriot Delight.

That's my opinion.

It's about time someone in 'Wankara' got pissed off!

Unless I am very much mistaken, it was an Irishman who first produced what we now know as 'Turkish Delight'.

The recipe and production techniques were purloined (along with much equipment) many years ago by a band of marauding adventurers who were attracted by the sweet smells issuing from the inventor's workplace.

A commemorative plaque may still be seen affixed to the stone wall of an old schoolhouse in 'Lucan' ( a small town on the outskirts of Dublin) the townsfolk there have a quaint annual ceremony on 25th October, at which time they gather at the banks of the river (which runs through the town) and hurl sugar coated cubes of what is probably a fair representation of the original product (Turkish Delight) into it's flowing waters.

Vehement curses are uttered as some of the younger members of the community stage mock battles in which the purloiners are always allowed to escape with their ill-gotten gains, a fire is made ready, set ablaze, then brands taken from the fire are circulated among all the young members who run through every street in search of intruders.

The entire ceremony invariably ends in the local ale-houses and as a final act of observance, prayers are offered in memory of Daniel. J. O'Desmond a respected member of another community in Mallow Co Cork. who was slain by those who deprived him of his rightful fame and fortune.

The descendants of that man have made their own mark in many enterprises and have spread over many lands, they have a dignity and presence which is a credit to the land from which they hailed.

Great post Eliko!

. . . it was reading this that reminded me, most recipes are reproduced many times over, independently by many cooks, but only the one that has "promotional" capacity gets the credit.

I always gave the Turkish Delight away when it was in a selectuion box of chocolates, couldn't stand it.
