Let's not pick on words 
Pork is rare in Türkiye as the majority is Muslim. Kadir is not muslim, but because it's not sold much and not common to eat, he is not used to it and doesn't like the taste.. thus he doesn't eat it at all actually. (only bacon when we had a fry-up at my house )

Quoting bod: So the garlic sausage that I have in my 'fridge is not "sucuk"?
It is described like this:
"Sliced cured pork sausage cooked with garlic and mustard seeds" |
Does it say "sucuk" on it? I'd be surprised..
Now where is my sucuk and cheese toast???
(another addiction..)

Quoting IZMIR060406: Also, my fiance tells me there can be some very dodgy butchers there... and what you ask for... and what they sell you ... can sometimes be two different things...  So you may be eating something you think you are eating but really are not !!!  Errr I think!!!
So remind me never to go shopping in a dodgy looking back street butchers in Izmir |
If it tastes nice and as you expect, does it matter if it is what you think it is??? Although I would probably not eat pork in Turkia simply because I eat lots of pork at home and prefer the wonderful fresh fish or succulent lamb that is cooked in Turkia

In Turkia we went with a good friend to a lokanta near Bozburun which was only accessible by boat! You ring them up and they send a little boat to collect you
The ahtapot tava was probably the best thing I have ever tasted

Bod tell me, did that place have a tiny beach with pebbles? I guess there are more of that kind of places there, but what you describe sounds very familiar, and it was in Bozburun too.. God I feel homesick..

I don't know how it is in Turkey, but sucuk is here always beef sausage. We have the same type of pork sausage, but it's called different. And it's really not the same. You cannot eat pork dry sausage without bread, it's too greasy. But when you start with genuine sucuk... You just can eat it without anything, untill you die! And when talking about different sucuks, do you, Bod, know about sweet sucuk? It's a kind of confection, and it's made of nut halves beaded on the thread, then they are dipped several times into the cooked flour or starch with water, sugar and some aroma (rose, raspberry, vanilla...), so when it gets cold and you pull out the thread, it has a shape of sausage. You cut it in slices and enjoy! You can make it yourself.

Yes, it had a small wooden jetty with a few seats on it and a small pebbled beach next to that. To eat you walk up a few steps and turn right and there are a number of tables where they serve the food.
Does that sound like the same place???
