I'm definitely gonna have them next time! You made me really curious. Besides, I can't give an opinion about something I don't know, can I?  |
This is what I have just done - I gave my (disgusted) opinion about kokorec!  The smell (reek) stopped me but the ecstatic expression on my friends's faces was comparable only to my face while eating kadayif  Ladies, why don't we make a deal - if you promise to keep your hands off kadayif, i will gladly leave all the kokorec in the world to you

It's a dessert that I fell in love with If only I knew how to paste pics here, I'd show you! Unfortunately at the time when I was in secondary school we were taught DOS not HTML. But you can use google graphics to see what it is.

While googling for it (and from what I saw, kadayif comes in all shapes and colours..), I found this
This site calls for some further investigation..

I'm glad you agree but it's funny that Meltem mentions kokorec and mussels as it is what reminds me of The Night of Turkish Culinary Nightmare I went through in Ankara. First, going to a pub, my friends had kokorec and then, on our way back to the hotel they stopped at a street stall to have a snack. To my horror they would have..mussels. Thus, my list of things not to eat extended to three positions: kokorec, mussels and iskende (I'm not sure about the name but it's a sour sheep soup)

I never had midya in Turkey, probably forgot to, but I do like them, as its a very common dish here in greece. As for Iskembe, this is in my NEVER-T0-EAT-EVEN-IF-I'M-STARVING list!

I will definitely add my comments about the whole kokoreç/cockroach thingy as soon as i will have eaten it
I actually eat anything, the only things i didn't eat for years were peanutbutter and those banana-marshmallow/sweets kinda things. But peanutbutter is no longer in the disgusted-zone.
And i sure do love midye tava. Btw, i keep forgetting the turkish name for kalamarakia? It comes close but i don't remember it. Anyone here to freshen up my memory?

Kalamarakia comes from kalamari and it's kalamar in turkish. Like most of the greek words, you cut an i in the end and there you have the turkish word.

Hehe ok thanks, i knew it came close. Kadir has told me many times by now i think, but it just kept slipping away through my mind. I remember i was so stunned to see the shape of the tiny thingies through the fried stuff. I must have been like 10 or something.
