If people didn’t like it, it wouldn’t be manufactured and sold.

Right, it’s just rose flavoring is one of those flavors (like lavender) that if overdone tastes like soap. I’d wager that most people who tried it and disliked it it was because it had too much.

Some people just don’t like floral flavors. If your only experience with flowers is soap and perfume then of course that’s the association you’ll have. Me, I love em. Rose, violet, nasturtium, hibiscus, elderflower, orange blossom, lavender, I even eat dandelion heads from the yard.

That has nothing to do with whether or not it is a horrible thing or not. Look how many McDonald’s burgers are made.

Real Turkish delight from a good shop or restaurant in Istanbul is amazing. Evem some good authentic Turkish restaurants in the US can prepare it properly. I’m guessing the Narnia level magic shit was pretty damn amazing. The stuff you buy in boxes in some gift shop in the US probably shouldn’t even be considered edible.

I can still remember my first time trying actual Lokum as a kid in Istanbul over 30 years ago.

I think also some people of certain nationalities quite like it.

I’m pretty sure no one actually likes Balut. That entire industry is kept alive by dares and gross out tv shows.
