well, in Florida in the US, I can get Turkish Delight at the grocery store in the foreign food section and it has pistachios in it.

So, I wouldn't expressly call it popular enough to find in candy shops on trays. Fudge yes.... Turkish Delight, not so much.

The chocolate bar kind I'm talking about is sold wherever sweets and chocolates are sold - corners shops, petrol stations, supermarkets etc. It's made by a UK company - Frys of Bristol - and has been around so long that it would not be considered foreign or unusual in any way. It's certainly a modified version of the traditional kind, but is recognisable as resembling and derived from the traditional sweet. It would have been absolutely familiar to Edmund in this format as a chocolate bar or individual chocolate covered sweets. The book is non-specific about whether it's this kind or the traditional kind. A boy of his social class might have known the traditional kind as an imported luxury for special occasions.

These days, the traditional kind is found in Turkish-owned shops or the relevant supermarket section and would also be a common gift to bring back from a trip to Turkey or, under alternative names, from Greece or Cyprus.

We don't see either kind frequently, unless it's in a specialty store.

Fry's is common in Australia as well, and traditional versions are ot uncommon to find at doner kebab shops (Shawarma - since I get the impression Australia is slightly inaccurate in names).

Well, this is what this Turkish Delight lark is reminding me of - Americans losing their minds over shawarma after it was in Avengers. All this stuff about "What is it? Where can they get it?" and all that, whilst the whole UK was like "In the kebab shop, obvs - what you don't have those? Sorry for you."

It's not as common as in the UK, but we do have schwarma in the U.S., and gyros, which are similar. We just don't call the restaurants that serve them "kebab shops".
