As someone who had that traditional reaction.... I didn't have a very specific expectation. If you have no idea what Turkish Delight is (I didn't) there isn't a lot to go on:

*Each piece was sweet and light to the very centre and Edmund had never tasted anything more delicious.*

'Light' is not a word I'd use to describe it- when I finally tried it I found the heaviness of the texture unpleasant, I guess I sort of didn't expect it to be so sticky? And it didn't really have a taste other than sweet. Which I suppose, fair, they're not really promising anything other than sweetness, but it's a degree of sweetness I found unpleasant, not delicious. I didn't want to eat a whole box, I don't think I even wanted a whole piece.

If you get really good Turkish delight, like, fresh in Turkey, it is light - it literally melts in your mouth. And traditional turkish delight would usually be flavored with rose, I believe.

I think what I had was supposed to be rose flavored, but it didn't really come through. It was just sugar, sugar, sugar. I actually like floral flavorings, but I don't like things as sweet as this was.

Certainly it's likely that what I had was not high quality, but I suspect that most Americans who have the disappointment reaction are not having high-quality fresh Turkish Delight in Turkey the first time they taste it. If someone insisted I'd probably try it again but I don't think I'd like it, even if it was better quality. I just don't like things that are so sweet.

For chunks of rose-flavored jelly rolled in sugar, they’re not bad. They’re just not “betray your family and help murder God” good.
