What is it? Do you eat it with something or can you eat it alone..... ( and no wise cracks that you can eat with someone )

It's a bread sold by vendors in the streets of Turkey. It's mostly considered a breakfast food eaten with jam or yogurt. Almost like a bagel.

Me too Chantal. I have tried making simit twice when I was out of Turkey for over a month. I failed miserably...
Also, normal turkish bread is the best, but I have been unable to duplicate that as well.
