I'm just curious about this. My husband and I have been sending lots of packages over to my sister-in-law for her baby due in November. She goes online and looks at all the products from the different stores we send the gifts from...and finds a hundred more things she wants us to mail to her! It's very funny.

If you live in Turkey, are there things you wish you could get over there?

I wish they had 'drop' (lacrice.. licorice.. how the hell do you spell it?) and 'hagelslag' (chocolate sprinkles for bread). Also, it seems rather hard to find fresh daily milk. But how can you make English tea if you don't have daily milk

Why don't you just ask your husband, but generalize to all?

When I am in Turkia I find most of the produce exquisite be it fruit or vegetables. The only thing I would kill for would be a can of McEwens Export Ale

Well, in February.. I ate lokum for breakfast everyday I just love it, especially the chocolate and strawberry ones. Ohhh.. just three more weeks..

But I do think that.. having so much variety in Turkish cuisine, so many 'special' things to choose from.. will make me long to the simple things I had in Holland
Only, Hagelslag and drop weight pretty much.. I can only htake 20kgs and need to pay 6€ for each kg extra. I've saved up for 15 more kgs, but I don't think I can take more

I'll have them sent


Maybe they do have in the bigger supermarkets, but on holiday I didn't see it anywhere. Obviously I will drink mostly Turkish tea because I love it, but Deniz was in London this summer for a course, and she brought me English tea
