Quoting AEnigma III: Quoting Cacık: I to am a cheesist ! I love every form of cheese. Have you ever tried the lovely green moldy cheese made here in Turkey which is rested in goat skins. Looks like it could walk across the table by itself and oh does it smell but oh gosh, it is so very very good. Try it. I think it is called kuflu tulum peynir.
yummmmmmmmy

Ouh sounds great - I love those moldy cheese. I will be the FIRST prophet of the Cheesist Movement  |
First Commandment....Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors cheese!

Thanks Elisabeth. You are right about the misconceptions. I was talking to my husband's nephew who is a mere 18 (just a babe). And he said that when we (Turks) see on the news all those foreign tourist down in Bodrum drunk on alcohol and showing off their behinds that THAT is what they see as "the Christians". I am a practising Christian and it enfuriates me that this is a common misconception and that these kids act the way they do anyway !!! Oh gosh 
MISCONCEPTION IS THE WORD OF THE DAY !!!!
Peace be with you to sister and everyone here.
Gosh this thread has worn me out - I have a big box of chocolates that a customer has just given us as a thank you present - so I might just have another one now !!!! Followed by CHEESE of course !

Absolutely - you know I have been on a diet for 2 months and lost 8 kilos which is brilliant. I am back into my old clothes size. But you know, I just can come to grips with the diet this week and have totally lost it.
My mind is full of gozleme, KFC (which I NEVER eat), chinese spring rolls, and anything with blinkin' CHEESE !!!!!
I shall get back into the diet next week.
Well-worn out Cacık !
What is everyone having for dinner ?

Quoting Elisabeth:
Thank you so much for this post. I was talking to my husband about this last night as I had asked earlier in this thread if hijab was in the Quran or if it was a cultural thing. He told me that the veils were a cultural thing but that the Quran demands modesty. Whatever the case may be, I don't think there is anyway to NOT talk about religion on a Turkish Language website. I think these debates are SO important in todays world. Religion is one of the most important parts of culture and language is part of culture...how do we separate these? It is difficult. It is like talking about the weather but nobody can mention anything about the sky....it is a strange rule...but that is the culture of TLC so I will shut up now. |
Elisabeth, I wish my bf thinks like your husband on this issue. I think I can give up eating pork for this.

If you have such cultural differences while still bf and gf, you should consider very carefully if you want to continue with the relationship.
Things get MUCH MUCH worse after you are married

I didn't give up pork!! But I promised I would never bring it into our home so that he would know whatever he eats in our home is safe for him. As for me...pass the BACON, CHEESE AND WINE!!
