    I live near Hershey, PA which is the considered " the sweetest place on earth ". I can honestly say these Turkish confectionaries personally seem more appealing to me than any type of chocolate. They are so unusual to where I live & I'd love to try every single one. I have had many Turkish delights over the last few years but they are hard to come by where I live because it's all about Hershey chocolate.

      Haci Bekir has the most amazing old school charm. Their selection is second to none. Went shopping there while I was visiting. Got stopped by US Customs upon returning home. They thought all those boxes I had were for sale 😅. Had to explain how long I planned to store and consume them...

    There are so many varieties of Turkish delight made in different shops and they're not all the same. Haci Bekir has the most remarkable Turkish delight I've ever had (turkish). I would recommend the one with clotted cream filling. It's extraordinary.

    I'm from Wenatchee Washington, and I lived a short distance from where the factory that makes them is at. Almost everyone in the central Washington area eats these heavenly treats~!

    As a child I loved watching my mother make Turkish delight and other candies. She made everything from scratch. I considered her Original America because she didn't forget the old ways. She didn't have any formal training, she learned everything from her mother, relatives and by practicing. I'm so blessed to have learned from her. Now days holiday candies are every day candies just packaged in holiday wrappers. I feel sorry for New America or even New World people because they don't get to experience real tradition.

    • @olcaytolog
      @olcaytolog 6 дней назад +1

      It is not about producing them but selling them to people who have their own choice of tastes. As the world is now more global and people travel all around the world there probably has been a demand for it lately .And Hacı Bekir is not the only company producing sweets in Turkiye. So probably there are many others who produce it but more traditional flavours are expected of Hacı Bekir: That is their strength at the market
