The Kat's friend Andy MacQueen has emailed him to say: "I wonder if we could end up in a similar situation with "Turkish Delight" as the one we are about to embark upon with whisky (regarding those far reaching geographic protections)!
Surely this will stop the Cypriot counterfeiters passing off their (mere?) Loukoumi as the (original?) Turkish Delight?"
They don't describe their sweet as "Turkish Delight" in Cyprus! Indeed, the Cypriot people, who are very good-natured nearly all the time, get most annoyed at the mere mention of Turkey. I bought some "Cyprus Delight", as they called it, and it was very nice - obviously rather like Turkish delight, but perhaps a bit lighter.
