Hi All

I am going to be in Turkey over the xmas holidays and would like to take some chocolate over with me.  My hubby is not in the tourist area.  What would be a nice for me to take.... Roses, Quality Streets or something else?

Thanks

Cheryl

 Well. Put in an extra pack of anything Cadbury´s for me!

Seriously, Turks will like any great Chocolate.

Cadbury´s for me too! Flake please

Without kidding, Rose´s, Quality Street and Cadbury´s sell those gift boxes with all different kinds of chocolate in it, I suggest you take one of them. I personally love the crunchy ones of Cadbury´s (I think its with honey, I dont remember really well),, I havent seen chocolate with crunchy bits in it here much, besides chocolates with nuts in it, I dont think there is much variety in Turkish chocolate. So a mixture would probably be a nice gift!

Maybe bringing cookies is nice too. Cookies you buy here in the supermarket taste awfully like factory-products, bringing cookies with jam or cream might be nice as well.

Thanks guys for your help I will try and make up a nice selection for them.... Will try and put some nice biscuits in there as well.   I try to take tea, coffee and powder milk with me they like these as well..... Dont like coffee myself 

Tea? I wouldn´t take tea to Turkey. The stories I heard about how my Western tea sucks compared to the original Syrian tea that little blind women smuggle over the borders, to be sold on Turkish markets...pffff.... If I would bring tea to Turkey I would just get my head bitten off

 You must be kidding! My regular shopping list from England is Tetleys teabags, extra mature cheddar cheese, marmite, and bacon/ham/porksausages

 Well, I have to say after listening to long speeches about how tea is important, I did learn to love a special kind of Turkish tea. One kind I can find from the old dude at the market Full flavour, but not bitter. But I thought we were talking about gifts for Turkish people, and I thought Turkish people did not enjoy foreign tea-bags.

 There is a BIIIIIIIG difference between Tetley´s, PGtips or Red Label and the ´canary piss´ that Dutch shops sell as ´English teablend´ or ´English Breakfast Tea´. (alsof de kip over de soep gevlogen is )

I am always asked to bring over with me the english tea bags... I find it quite funny as to me it is something that I don´t care for much but to see my mother-in-law´s face light up with the little things I bring her is lovely.  Worth every penny as she never seems to get very much.
