Feelin' a lot better today! Gnna take a small nap and then we'll stream tonight.

Also why did the little brother sell out his family for Turkish Delight anyways? I got hyped for years to try this when I was a kid, I finally did, and it was awful. Throw him into the sun.

I'm not gonna defend Edmund for being the doubting Thomas, I will point out the logistics if the treason, he liked it since candies back then were simple, it was WWII rationing so hadn't had something like that in a long time, also cs Lewis needed someone for jesus lion to forgive back into the fold

They are better when you make them yourself, much more control on what goes in it. I made orange ones a few years back and rolled them in sugar.... they slapped. I really should make more

I think the missed context is that during world war 2 there was a sugar ration in England. so sweets like this were really hard to come buy. Still a stupid thing to sell your siblings for? But they probably didn't have a lot of sugary treats. {See carrot on a stick.}

Reading replies and finding out the historical reasons are fascinating, but I’ll also point out that the Witch put a compulsion enchantment on them as well. IIRC this mostly made him want more, so it doesn’t absolve him, but it helps to explain why he wanted them so badly.

Did you try the rose ones? Those are my favorite.

Turkish Delights are only good if eaten alongside Turkish Coffee or a similar shades of bitter drinks. They compliment each other WAY better.

And even then, no more than 2!

It’s an incredibly indulgent candy. Difficult to make, and ludicrously expensive. Also a war was on. So the ingredients required were in extremely short supply.

Seriously, that kid needs to up his standards.

There was an XKCD comic about it, with the bonus text as something like "hey, do you have any Cinnabons? Because I'd *kill* someone for those."
