Have you ever had Turkish Delight? Have you made it? How did that go? Would you sell your family for it?


~~~~~

Yes, I made Turkish Delight in highschool. It was awful. Just the worse. I burnt the sugar and melted a spoon in it. Don't trust a 15 year old with candy unsupervised.

And yes, I've had proper Turkish delight. I got a bag of it from a little sweets shop in Lacok England (AKA Godric's Hollow) and it was amazing. You know how some people will properly make Turkish delight and say it's a let down? Well, they haven't had good British sweet shop delight. It's good. Real good. Throw in some dark magic and a chip on my shoulder and yeah, I'd sell out my youngest brother.

The lemon is better than rose. Rose is good, but lemon is better.

I still have some in my room from Harrod's. It's good, but not as good as that tiny little shop.]]> The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Lucy Took https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/turkish-delight/ Preparing for the Meal at the Beavers' https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/preparing-for-the-meal-at-the-beavers/ Mon, 14 Aug 2017 08:54:10 +0000
Peter goes with Mr. Beaver to catch fish (I don't know how he helps here...maybe he holds the pail?).

Susan and Lucy help Mrs. Beaver set the table, put the kettle on, slice the bread, and do other things to get ready.

Edmund does nothing. He isn't mentioned at all in this scene. So is this another subtle reminder that he's the one who is messed up and needs redemption?

I dunno, I just noticed this for the first time (after reading the books, like, ten to twenty times before; this is a reason to reread books :P ). Has anyone else noticed this?]]> The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe jesusgirl4ever https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/preparing-for-the-meal-at-the-beavers/ Inconsistency? https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/inconsistency/ Thu, 21 Jul 2016 23:29:23 +0000 ever rides centaurs or Unicorns? And yet in LWW Aslan says: "Those who can't keep up...must ride on the backs of those who can--that is...centaurs, unicorns..." :shock: I mean, Aslan can do whatever he likes, but someone mentioned in SC that they didn't believe anyone had ever ridden a centaur before. :shock:
I can't believe I never noticed that before. Does anyone have ideas or explanations? All I can think of is that perhaps no one who may have remembered this event was alive at the time of SC. But still, you'd think they'd have some record of it!]]> The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe hobbit_of_narnia https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/inconsistency/ Horrid School? https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/horrid-school/ Mon, 12 Jan 2015 15:33:00 +0000
looking better than had seen him look- oh, for ages; in fact ever since his first term at that horrid school which was where he had begun to go wrong.
My main question is: Did he and Peter go to different schools? If so, why? If not, why was he nasty and Peter wasn't?

Then I started thinking, maybe this was a pattern for her. She was ruling in a land where she had made an eternal (ish) Winter. Where did the Narnians get food? There are some things which seem to have stayed as viable food-sources unexpectedly - the river by Beaversdam had somehow stayed viable for fishing after all this time, for example, so perhaps there are some other food-sources left locally - and some of our lovely fanfiction authors speculate that there was smuggling from Archenland. But we're still talking about a whole nation that needs feeding, in the scarcest time of year. For some creatures it could have looked like a choice between selling out and starving. And then once she had you in her power, she could make life look very good for you by getting you whatever luxury goods you missed most, or had heard about from before the war from your parents.]]> The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Lily of Archenland https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/witchs-food/ Succession? https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/succession/ Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:26:00 +0000
According to the books, the Pevensies didn't marry, and therefore left no heirs. I've read theories of Corin or Peridan taking over. The only thing we know for certain is that there was a queen named Swanwhite II.

Anyone have any ideas?]]> The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe jesusgirl4ever https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/succession/ Châtelaine of Cair Paravel https://www.thelionscall.com/community/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-wardrobe/chatelaine-of-cair-paravel/ Sun, 02 Feb 2014 13:18:13 +0000

Fill in the blank, and the next poster answers. Then that person poses the same question about some other character or object from LWW.

Example:
In LWW, what can you learn from the wardrobe?

A: what seems to be a dark dead-end can be a door to adventure!

In LWW, what can you learn from the lamp post shining in Lantern Waste?
