What is Fry's Turkish Delight?
Fry's Turkish Delight is a unique chocolate bar. Its inside is a sweet, jelly-like candy called Turkish delight. This candy is usually flavored with rosewater, giving it a distinct floral taste. The rose-flavored center is then covered in a layer of creamy milk chocolate. It's known for its soft texture and sweet, fragrant flavor.
A Taste of History
The Fry's Turkish Delight bar has been around for over 100 years! It was first introduced in 1914. The company that made it, J. S. Fry & Sons, was a well-known chocolate maker in the United Kingdom. In 1919, Fry & Sons became part of the Cadbury company. However, the Fry's name stayed on the Turkish Delight bar, keeping its original identity.
Around the World
Fry's Turkish Delight is popular in many places. In Australia and New Zealand, Cadbury makes even more "Turkish" treats. These include mini-Easter eggs, ice cream, and larger chocolate blocks. They also have small versions that come in boxes of assorted chocolates.
In Ireland, Cadbury also produces a similar bar called "Dairy Milk Turkish." This version uses Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. It also has a slightly different Turkish delight center.
Famous Slogans
For many years, Fry's Turkish Delight has been famous for its advertisements. Since the late 1950s, a well-known slogan has been used: 'Full of Eastern Promise'. This slogan was often heard in British TV commercials. These ads sometimes featured models and actresses, like Jane Lumb in the 1960s. In 2000, this slogan was even ranked as one of the "100 Greatest Adverts" in a TV poll.
Different Flavors
While the classic rose flavor is the most famous, other flavors have been made too. In recent years, you might have found Fry's Turkish Delight with lemon, cherry, or orange centers. These offer a different twist on the traditional sweet treat.
