Quoting mltm: I haven't seen that kind of bread, but maybe in very big supermarkets like carrefour, there are many kinds of breads. |
I am not sure it is widely available in supermarkets anywhere - I have not seen it in the UK. The "herb bread" is a recipe of my own originally derived from one for Italian Herb Bread that I found in a book on breadmaking.
I suppose the question really is:
If a Turkish recipe says add "mixed herbs" to a meal (not necessarily bread) how would "herbs" be translated???

It would be translated as baharat (spice). Is the term herb close to spice? For instance pepper is a baharat. Cayenne pepper and cumin are other spices.
So we could say "baharatlı ekmek" if you are just adding any kind of spice to a normal bread.

No - herbs and spices are different!
I think the difference is that herbs are the leaf of a fragrant plant whereas spices are the seeds and/or fruit of the plant.
Herbs are things like parsley, corriander leaf, oregano, mint, etc. They are usually dried and nearly always green in colour.

Hi bod,
now I see what you mean but I don't know any name for herbs.
Maydanoz, dere otu,... gibi bitkiler için halk arasında kullanılan genel bir isim bilen var mı?
Bod, bu durumda "maydanozlu ekmek" veya "otlu ekmek" denilebilir.
Maydanoz konusundaki uzmanlarımıza sormak lazım bunu.

Do Turks not use herbs in cookery???
I still think that "ot" is about the right word because "şifalı ot" is a medicinal herb

Yes Bod,
in my above post I too suggested "otlu ekmek".

It's just come to my mind.
I think "yeşillik" is used for fresh herbs like parsley, dill, fresh mint, romaine...
yeşil means green and "yeşillik" is derived from it.
the plural is yeşillikler.

and for dried herbs like thyme, people call them "baharat". Maybe you don't call them spice.
