  Turkish Delight (Lokum)
Rahat lokum ("comfortable morsel"), nowadays called simply lokum, or Turkish Delight, was an instant hit, especially at the palace.
You can still buy lokum at Ali Muhiddin's shop in Eminönü today, almost 250 years since the intrepid confectioner saved his sultan from sourballs.
Lokum (Turkish Delight) is now made and sold in thousands of shops throughout Turkey, and enjoyed with Turkish tea or coffee, or just by itself.

 A morsel of pure pleasure -- lokum - Turkish Daily News Apr 24, 2004
Lokum is a sweet whose existence has been known of since at least the 14th century but it became truly famous at the end of the 18th century.
Although hard and soft candies including lokum were being made and sold in Istanbul as early as the 14th and 15 centuries, Haci Bekir quickly achieved a reputation for making the best candy and his fame reached as far as the sultan's palace.
The types of lokum are as varied as one can think of -- hazelnuts, almonds, pistachio, walnuts, lemon or orange peel, coconut, carrot, dried apricots, candied cherry, strawberry, spices, rose petal, mint, vanilla, cream and even mastic (a kind of gum which has a mildly addictive quality to it).

 Chomping one's way through Turkish candy - Turkish Daily News Nov 03, 2005
Lokum is also particularly popular at the end of the Ramadan period with its Sugar Holiday, during which it is a tradition to offer something sweet to visitors, including the children who come to the door to kiss your hand.
Another story goes that Haci Bekir was so successful in marketing his lokum to the many palace employees and government officials who lived in the area, and especially the harem women, that the sultan took notice and named him the chief confectioner.
The noun, lokum, is related to eating; it has been said that lokum means “we are eating.” The Arabic version of the sweet that we know as lokum today comes from an Arabic phrase, "rahablakum" or "rahat ul-hulkum" (to relax the throat).
