Turkish Delight is a mildly chewy fruit candy dusted with powdered sugar often with nut pieces suspended in it. The fruit flavor is mild but true (not artificial like fruit-flavored hard candy usually is). It's better known in Europe than America, but is available in America, too (sometimes under other names).

In the old days in America, shortly after the time of the pilgrims, people started to celebrate their birthdays with a roasted turkey. This was because the birthday cake had not yet been invented.
At the birthday party, the birthday turkey was brought out and they sang Happy Birthday. Even in those days they had birthday candles, although they were considerably larger and therefore more difficult to put out. In fact they would often time fall off the turkey and set the birthday child on fire, not to mention the paper table cloth. And the dogs.
This remained a technological hurdle until Hafiz DaFar arrived from Istanbul in the great Turkish migration of 1794. He brought with him a rather sticky candy concoction. One day while attending the birthday party of his dentist's youngest son, he had an epileptic fit and whilst whirling around, the candy came into contact with the candle wicks, attaching them to the stick bar and thus putting them out immediately and safely.
Unfortunately the young child (named Ian) was impaled on the point of the spear that fell of the wall and killed the poor boy. This of course was known as the Shake Spear Ian tragedy, but that is another story.
In any case, subsequent to this even, instead of attempting to blow out the birthday candles, they would slap them with the candy and this was know as de-lighting the turkey. In honor of Mr daFar, it soon became known as Turkish De-light. Subsequently shortened to Turkish delight.
