What is "Rick's Turkish Delight"?

It's on Arnold Layne and Candy & A Currant Bun. Pretty much the same little diddy.

That's what I was wondering if it was--but I wasn't sure. Not to sound stupid...but is that indeed the tune that the band used to tease him for?

It doesn't sound bad at all, of course! But those two sure DO sound similar!

I'm not sure if the band teased him or it was just other people.

I'd have to reread Schaffner to be sure of that. But that's where I first heard the phrase.

I think it's some sort of candy or something sweet. But don't quote me on that.

Turkish Delight:

"The original treat westerners call Turkish Delight is a type of candy made with cornstarch, syrup, flavoring and various other ingredients such as nuts and dried fruits. It was created by an Ottoman chef anxious to please the reigning Sultan."

Man, you're a regular fountain of information. Tell me, do you speak to Bride of a Bull much. You two would get along great.

I haven't seen Bride of a Bull on here for a while now, but I'll tell him you asked after him when I see him again.

"I am you, and what you see is me."

Hmm--Turkish Delight...sounds good!



(This is supposed to be the look of someone licking their lips in anticipation of good food!)

And "RICK'S Turkish Delight"--it's not a bad little riff, either! :smile:

I think I ate some of that. I'm not sure, but I think I did and was VERY sweet. Whatever that was.

I'll bet!

All in a spirit of fun,

Hang on. I go away for a very little while and someone is already trying to usurp me as fountain of pointless information.

Usurper! USURPER!
