History
In Turkey it is called rahat lokum, which may come from the Arabic phrase rahat al-hulqum, translated as "throat's ease". The name may also come from the Turkish word lokma, meaning morsel. According to legend, Turkish sultan Abdul Hamid I asked the finest dessert makers to invent a sweet to please his harem. It was originally called "lumps of delight" in Britain; the first documented use of the term "Turkish delight" is from 1877. -
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
In the book The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, an evil witch uses enchanted Turkish Delight to win the character Edmund Pevensie to her side. It is described as the most amazing thing the character has ever tasted. She promises him more if he will bring his siblings to her. Literary critics have compared the use of Turkish Delight in this book to the apple in the Garden of Eden. -
