Turkish Sweets and Desserts

Turkish food is delicious, but especially the sweets! There are a variety of pastries, wonderful after eating a kebab and a drink of sweet honey (not for dieters!) They come in different varieties, small pastries with pistachios, almonds etc - all kinds of nuts! My favorite was a kind of sponge cake soaked in honey with a thin layer of cream... Awesome! Another typical thing is handmade jellies, with fruits (pomegranate, apple, lemon ...) and of course, with nuts! Figs are also very popular. Besides eating there, you can take them away - I took several boxes of jelly beans that last for months (if not opened).
