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

      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.
