"It is dull, Son of Adam, to drink without eating," said the Queen presently. "What would you like best to eat?"
"Turkish Delight, please, your Majesty," said Edmund.
The Queen let another drop fall from her bottle on to the snow, and instantly there appeared a round box, tied with green silk ribbon, which, when opened, turned out to contain several pounds of the best Turkish Delight. Each piece was sweet and light to the very centre and Edmund had never tasted anything more delicious.One of my co-workers recently returned from a two-week Eastern Mediterranean cruise. The first morning he was back, he went around the office offering selections from a souvenir box of Turkish Delight, "Straight from the bazaar!", as he cheerfully announced. Meh. No ill will, Edmund, but I'll stick with Mars Bars.
