That helps explain why Edmund was initially excited about Turkish delight and called it his favorite. The other thing to remember is that Edmund wasn't actually fed Turkish delight in the book. He was fed snow that the White Witch enchanted. The appearance, taste, and resulting thrall were the effects of the witch's magic. He was actually craving Evil Magic Delight when he betrayed his family (until he was redeemed by Lion Christ's sacrifice of course).
