"FACTS ABOUT TURKEYS, TULIPS AND TURKISH DELIGHTS"
If you will go to Turkey well dont miss out their sweet delicacies.Lokum is a confection made from starch and sugar. It is often flavored with rosewater, mastic or lemon; rosewater gives it a characteristic pale pink color. It has a soft, jelly-like and sometimes sticky consistency, and is often packaged and eaten in small cubes dusted with icing sugar or copra to prevent clinging. Some types contain small nut pieces, usually pistachio, hazelnut or walnuts. Other common types include flavors such as cinnamon or mint.
We all know that Tulips are associated with Holland but did you know that the name and the flower itself was originated from turkey?
Although, it is unclear who first brought the flower to northwest Europe, it is the Turks who made tulip known in Europe.
Turkeys bird was named Turkey not because it was originated from Turkey! They were actually native to the forests of North America.When Europeans first encountered turkeys in the Americas they incorrectly identified the birds as a type of guineafowl (Numididae), also known as Turkey fowl (or Turkey hen and Turkey cock) from their importation to Central Europe through Turkey, and that name, shortened to just the name of the country, stuck as the name of the bird.
