Parma violets and rose creams...

[Seniorandjunior]

And their ilk. Please settle a very important discussion for us:
they're like eating shampoo? Non? or Oui?

YANBU - shampoo
YABU - delicious

Orange flower water in a sponge - I really like. Interestingly... (Quiet day here)

But mostly anything flower-flavoured is rank IMHO, including petals dipped in sugar

Dolce and Gabbana's The Only One perfume smells like Parma violets to me. I love it as a perfume, not as a flavour.

No.

Also rose Turkish Delight. It tastes like Raid fly spray smells.
The lemon and pistachio Turkish delight is gorgeous though......

Mmm that reminds me I haven't had Fry's Turkish delight in ages..

I keep reading about violet and rose chocolates, I have never seen them, where do I get them from as I really feel I need to try them?

Bought myself a box of Rococo Flower creams as a treat for Christmas, they also have lavender and geranium creams - delicious!!

I think I've got them in John Lewis before. My late dgran loved them and I used to stop and get them Heathrow on my way to see her! So it had to be John Lewis or Harrods

I like them. And also, lavender flavoured things. Suspect I'm a bit weird though!

I like Turkish delight & used to like parma violets.

I've never liked the consistency of chocolate creams though!

Normally I'd say shampoo, but if you've tried a decent chocolatier's version eg www.gorvettandstone.com/products/rose-and-violet-fondant-creams?variant=19291545862 (you can buy them individually in their shop), they taste nothing like shampoo.

I love them both! I asked for some for Christmas and didn't get any
Iceland has palma violet ice lollies, they are amazing!

Non, j'taime palma violets et j'adore creme de rose. C'est tres delicieux! Tu es deraisonnble.

Shame these are sold out, I might have to find a recipe for violet Turkish delight.

That looks nice!

Quite fancy lemon flavour!

I like rose creams, but I'm not very keen on parma violets. Sorry I can't vote!

Seems a few of us asked for them for Christmas and didn't get any. We should form a club 😂

Another favourite of mine is marzipan fruits. Didn't get any of them either!

YABU. Send them my way!

Aldi and Lidl do them at this time of year. Bought a box this afternoon!

I love them!

@Inextremis

Rose and violet creams are my favourite chocolates - I only have a small box of each at Christmas, and never throughout the year, else I'd pig out on them.

Haven't had any for ages.

Love them!

Ooh,

Haven't had Turkish Delight for years either!

Memories of childhood Christmases

My favourites! Will need to buy some violet creams as Santa neglected to bring them this year.

"Haven't had Turkish Delight for years either!"

Husband recently brought me back some Fry's-which may or may not count!

Apparently the also do/did a lemon one!

you can get Parma Violet candles too

Coriander too 🤮
