Despite this, the Turks still use it to make a strange elastic ice cream, eaten with a knife and fork, which carries a pungent aftertaste compared by one commentator to the scent of \"goats on a rainy day\". Salep ice cream is so popular that O. mascula is now a protected species in Turkey.",

Salep is a Turkish word with an even more precise derivation (it's from the Arabic for \"fox's testicles\"). Despite this, the Turks still use it to make a strange elastic ice cream, eaten with a knife and fork, which carries a pungent aftertaste compared by one commentator to the scent of \"goats on a rainy day\". Salep ice cream is so popular that O. mascula is now a protected species in Turkey.",
