Turkish Treats: A Tour of Turkish Desserts
土耳其甜點之旅

1/27
From its history to its culture, there are many reasons to love Turkey. But for those of us with a sweet tooth, there’s another, more appealing reason: Turkey boasts an abundance of delicious desserts that are well worth getting acquainted with.
One of Turkey’s most famous desserts is actually named after it. Turkish delight, also known as lokum, is a chewy, colorful, and soft treat. It’s also full of flavor, taking its taste from dried fruits, nuts, and of course, plenty of sugar. Not only is this dessert a favorite around the globe, it also has an interesting history. Legend has it that Turkish delight was invented by some of Turkey’s best chefs as a means to secure peace between a powerful sultan’s many wives. And remarkably, it worked!
Of course, no discussion of Turkey’s desserts would be complete without mentioning baklava. Typically made with dozens of layers of phyllo pastry topped with nuts, baklava comes in a variety of shapes and styles. And although you can find baklava in other countries, no country takes their baklava as seriously as Turkey. After all, most historians assert that baklava was, in fact, invented there.
有另一個更吸引人的理由：土耳其擁有大量美味的甜點，非常值得我們去了解。
土耳其最著名的甜點之一實際上就是以它來命名。土耳其軟糖又稱為lokum，是一種有嚼勁、色彩繽紛且柔軟的點心。它也有很多口味，其味道來自果乾、堅果、當然還有大量的糖。這種甜點不只是全球最受喜愛的甜點，它還有一段有趣的歷史。傳說土耳其軟糖是由幾名土耳其最優秀的廚師發明的，作為在一名勢力強大的蘇丹的眾多妻子間取得和平的一種方法。而不可思議的是，它奏效了！
當然，談論土耳其甜點若沒有提到果仁蜜餅（編注：亦常譯為「蜜糖果仁千層酥」）就不完整。果仁蜜餅通常由上面覆蓋堅果的數十層油酥千層餅皮所製成，有各式各樣的形狀和風格。而雖然你可以在其他國家找到果仁蜜餅，但沒有國家像土耳其一樣認真對待他們的果仁蜜餅。畢竟，大多數的歷史學家都主張果仁蜜餅事實上是在那裡發明的。

Turkey may be home to some famed desserts, but it also has some surprising and unique ones too. For instance, kesme dondurma is an ice cream so thick you need to eat it with a knife and fork. Made from goat’s milk and ground orchid tubers, this Turkish specialty is usually served shaped like a brick. Although the orchid powder helps thicken the ice cream, it’s actually a special way of preparing the milk that makes the ice cream so solid.
Perhaps the most peculiar dessert you’ll try in Turkey is tavukgogsu. While it has a texture and taste similar to rice pudding, this dessert’s main ingredient is actually chicken. The meat is cooked down in milk until they mix together into a pudding. Flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, it’s not only one of Turkey’s signature desserts, it’s also quite tasty!
From the famous to the strange, Turkey’s desserts are as delicious as they are fascinating. But of course, if you truly want to learn about these sweet dishes, there’s one more thing you need to do. Take a trip to Turkey and go try them all! 
土耳其可能是一些知名甜點的所在地，但它也有一些令人驚訝和獨特的甜點。例如，切片冰淇淋是一種很厚實的冰淇淋，你需要用刀叉才能食用。這道土耳其特產以山羊奶和磨碎的蘭花塊莖製成，上桌時通常呈磚塊狀。雖然蘭花粉有助於讓冰淇淋變稠，但實際上是一種特殊的羊奶製法使這種冰淇淋如此堅硬。
或許你在土耳其嚐到最奇特的甜點是雞肉布丁。雖然它有著類似米布丁的口感和味道，但這種甜點的主要食材其實是雞肉。雞肉在奶中熬稠，直到與布丁完全混合。它以肉桂和香草來調味，不只是土耳其的招牌甜點，而且相當好吃！
從知名的到奇怪的，土耳其的甜點既美味又吸引人。但是當然，如果你真的想要了解這些甜食，你還有一件事需要去做。去一趟土耳其，全部都試吃看看吧！
