If you have a sweet tooth, Istanbul is the place for you. You can buy all sorts of sweet treats at the Spice Market, but most restaurants and cafes have a sweet collection, or you can go to a shop dedicated to sweet treats. Generally, the sweet treats are divided into baklava and sweet breads or biscuits:
and Turkish delight ( which seems much less sweet and more marshmallowy than what I have had in Melbourne). These seem to come in an infinite range of flavours - even saffron!
and desserts, which can be ice cream,milk custard, rice pudding, a sort of fruit and nut pudding, or, my favourite, soaked dried figs and apricots, with walnuts and ice cream. Yum!
