I love a bunch of Turkish sweets and have the pleasure of having authentic Turkish sweets available close to me, but man I just really dislike Turkish delights lol

That’s perfectly fine :D Some things just aren’t to everyone’s taste.

Here in the Netherlands, we absolutely love licorice for example. It’s a very large part of the candy section in any supermarket. Sweet, salty, spicy, hard, soft, you name it. We love it. Meanwhile, your average American nearly throws up if they try it. It’s something that you have to grow up with to really enjoy.

Haha I'm swedish actually so I understand what you mean! I never get tired of watching videos of Americans trying our salty "djungelvrål" licorice, the second they get it on their tongue they almost puke, meanwhile I can't get enough
