Lokum is a Turkish sweet based on a syrup of gelled starch and sugar, often with mastic. It is soft and sticky, transparent yellowish or can also be different colors. The word Lokum is derived from the Turkish lokma, which means something like "bite, bite". The full name is rahat-lokum - "convenient appetizers", since Lokum is called Turkish delight in English. Turkish honey, however, is an older name for white nougat. And this name in turn is composed of the word "Turkish" and "Delight"
...the latter word stands for delight, for delights, for candy for a special enjoyment. And the word "honey" was and is still used in some languages for a special sensual pleasure. This has only so much in common with honey, which we know from bees, that honey (especially in the old days when sugar was unknown in many cultures) was something especially delicious, sweet and special.
Turkish honey goes well with coffee, especially the one with rose aroma.
Great reminder! I love Lokum meanwhile (at the beginning I didn't like it but you also need to find really good one!), but now it'll always be some in my suitcase after I visited Turkey! :)
