I am very partial to Halkoum. What is its English name and what colours are available in the UK?

Without googling this just has to be Turkish Delight! My favourite! and I could write reams about it. You can get a version covered in chocolate which is always pink, and not like the "real stuff" but is delicious nonetheless and is a nice treat to have as it advertises itself as being 96% fat free so you feel very virtuous. The proper stuff is mostly found in shops round about Christmas time, although it can be found at other times of the year but not in such great quantities. I've only ever had pink or yellow (both equally yummy) but somewhere in the darkest recesses of my mind I remember a child brought me some back from a Turkish holiday once and there were different colours, and not as delicious as the British variety. I hope I'm on the right track with this answer. If I'm not, will somebody delete me quickly before I die of embarrassment! Dec 30 03, 1:31 PM

Funny you should ask that... I think the other colours might be white and green, but I sit to be corrected. Dec 30 03, 1:43 PM

I am currently in a Scottish town which shares its name with the surname of its local MP. Where am I and which European Championships are often held nearby? Can you name the peculiar main ingredient of many culinary dishes, whose presence is world-wide, prefers humid and temperate climates, is only a fraction of its very recognizable host form, and is available for harvesting for approximately 12 hours a year? In its complete form, it is one of the more common accents to more colorful cousins in the plant world. "True! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?" This line is from what work? Who said 'I am a bear of very little brain and long words bother me?'
