Turkish Delight : Délice turc ou lokoum est une famille de confiseries à base d'un gel d'amidon et de sucre. Les variétés traditionnelles sont souvent aromatisées à l'eau de rose, à la bergamote ou au citron.
La confiserie est souvent emballée et consommée en petits cubes saupoudrés de sucre glace pour éviter l'adhérence.
L'origine des délices turcs n'est pas connue avec précision, mais on sait que cette confiserie a été produite en Turquie et en Iran (Perse) dès la fin du XVIIIe siècle.

Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
