Inchie Turkey


There’s still a lot of people who only know of Turkish Delight as the powdery white sweet
used by the White Witch to entice Edmund in The Chronicles of Narnia.
However, the confection has a long history and is one of Turkey’s most popular exports.
One of the oldest sweets in the world, going back almost 500 years,
the Turkish Delight recipe has remained almost unchanged since the day of its inception.
As the story goes, the Sultan, trying to cope with all his mistresses,
summoned his confectionary chefs and demanded the production of a unique dessert.
It was through this summon that the Turkish Delight was born.

Inchie Cuba

We visited this beautiful country in 2016 and I used one of our many pictures for this inchie.
I chose one with Che Guevara, because you see his picture everywhere in Cuba.

Inchie Romania



Whenever I think of Romania, I think of  Dracula!
Count Dracula, a fictional character in the Dracula novel by Bram Stoker,
was inspired by one of the best-known figures of Romanian history,
Vlad Dracula, nicknamed Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler),
who was the ruler of Walachia at various times from 1456-1462.

I have about 1 meter of flight magazines and in one of them 
was a large article about Zimbabwe,

 and printed the flag for this weeks inchie.
