Turkey's national candy is called Turkish Delight. Also known as loukoum, this confection is comprised primarily of starch and sugar, and is often flavored with rosewater (Sorry, but I have no idea what that is.) and lemon. Turkish Delight is characterized by a jelly-like and sticky consistency, and is often packaged and eaten in small cubes that are dusted with sugar to prevent sticking. Some types contain small nut pieces, such as pistachio. Further, one out of one Catons agree that it tastes like crap; truly an insult to the senses.
