Default Turkish delight

In 1906 John Galsworthy wrote 'A man of property', the first book of the
'Forsyte Saga'. What, you ask, has this got to do with food? Well, at the
beginning of chapter viii he writes:

'All Forsytes, as is generally admitted, have shells, like that extremely
useful little animal which is made into Turkish delight;.....'

I always thought Turkish delight was made of gelatin, sugar and suitable
flavouring. Can anyone help with info on this?

Best Regards,
Jack Fearnley
