The one in the picture (rose flavor) isn´t "Türkischer Honig".

here's discriptions of turkish delight

And the English translation of "Türkischer Honig" (according to a neighbor who teaches German at the local primary school the English version is called nougat)

Well, Nougat is something completely different, but I think we´re having the same problems here as with the lollies. Some words are used differently in different areas. In Austria for example "Türkischer Honig" only describes a white soft candy with nuts inside. As I´ve seen on the German Wikipedia and have been told by Chris in this topic in Germany they are using the term too for what is called Lokum in Austria.

nope Anna, you're completely wrong. "türkischer Honig" is "hard nougat" (I don't know if hard- and soft nougat are the right terms, but that's how we say it here in Germany "Hartnougat" & "Softnougat"). you where probably thinking about the "soft nougat" that is often covered with chocolate. but "turkish delight" or "türkischer Honig" is definitely a sort of nougat.Well, Nougat is something completely different,

Nougat and Turkish delight are considered the same species? Turkish delight is basically a kind of jelly - sugar flavoured with stuff and set with gelatin. Nougat is constructed more along the lines of toffee or fudge - sugar is heated to boiling point and then cooled, altering its crystalline structure.
Do both names refer to different things in other parts of the world?
The pink jelly stuff tastes better than it looks. Granted, it doesn't actually look like food at all.

That´s what I tried to say. It´s obvious that the words are used different in Germany and Austria. I asked a few people here in Vienna and everyone I asked knows the words with the same meanings as I do. On the other hand, the German Wikipedia entry verifies the meaning that Chris told us, so it seems that some more people beside him use the words that way.aesthetistician wrote:Do both names refer to different things in other parts of the world?
So neither of us both is false or right with his/her opinion, its just that the words are used different in different places.
Oh well and "Türkischer Honig" is a lot softer than "Nougat" so calling it hard nougat seems very illogical to me.

I tend to go for gummy lollies, you know, the sort that's full of gelatins, and vegatable gums, colours, flavourings and strange numbers? Red frogs are a good one, but only the firm ones, like Allens.
Other than that, I'd happily kill for Rocky Road. But it must have a least 40/50% jelly in it. And the marshmallow must be in three colours, and be flavoured too.
I'm rather fussy about what I like in a lolly, although if I need a sugar fix, any old crap will do.
