Food that looked like it would taste good, but when you tried it....Yuck!

Turkish Delight. I'd always been dying to try it because Peter in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe raved about it but maaaaaan that stuff was not the business.

LOL Did anyone else make the mistake of thinking vanilla extract would taste the way it smelled when they were little?

haha, yes! my dad used to let me bake with him from time to time, and man i was really put off vanilla for a while. to this day i cant deal with strong (think yankee) vanilla scented candles because of that.

A Turkish TA brought this in for us to try once.

If the White Witch offered it to me, I'd be like "Nah. I'm good."

Traditional Turkish Delight - for example, the rosewater flavour - looks great, tastes like my grandmother's Rose Milk smelled. But the Americanized version - Applets and Cotlets - SO YUMMY. http://www.libertyorchards.com/categ...FQ1U7Aod9HlUKw

THIS was the flavor I got.

My very faulty logic: I picked it because it was pink. I love the pink Starbursts. Figured it would be similar. False.
