Bacon mania is nothing new -bacon skates were in use in 1931!
So, yes, this photo was taken in November 1931 in Chehalis, Washington at the town's Egg Festival. The occasion was a try to break the world record for largest omelette. Two women tied bacon to their feet and skated around the warming skillet to grease it. Then a team of chefs cracked and beat 7,200 eggs and made a breakfast delight.

Most others that I found have you cook the sugar mixture to 250D or as high as 260D.
You don't need cream of tartar. It's purpose is to prevent the sugar from crystalizing which is what lemon juice or citric acid will do. Adding it to the cornstarch mixture does nothing.
You've got to be careful with the stirring. Too vigorous and the starches break down which prohibit gelling.
Need to read up some more but for now, I'm going with this: https://aegeandelight.com/authentic-turkish-delight-recipe-from-narnia/
Pretty sure it's that one - I've got a lot of open tabs here. . .
