Hmmm, 2.5 and 1/11 of the group-Turkish-Delight-dislike ... not bad! (And after seeing drbear's and akiyasan's answers to #6, I can't believe I didn't think of going VERY old!school and saying, "it's in New Orleans, and called The Rising Sun". *facepalm*)
Yeah, well, unfortunately I didn't think of that until today. Hmph. Maybe next time, inspiration will strike sooner.
As for Turkish Delight, there's ONE variety full of pistachios that's actually quite nice, but the rest? *gag*
I also don't like Baklava and most other kinds of Turkish desserts; don't get me wrong, I'll kill for good chocolate or a tasty pudding, but in roughly a dozen vacations in the country, my first choice usually is either ice cream or fruit for dessert, NOT pastries. WAY too much honey, sugar, rose and orange water, IMO!
Sometimes inspirational hindsight is 20/20. Next time try ginspiration. ;-)
I do like Baklava, but most other Turkish/Middle Eastern pastries are not my thing. Chocolate, however, is always the right answer. Especially chocolate mousse. Mmmmmmmousse.

Note: I was 3/11 of the Turkish Undelight. ;-)
