I do believe we have had this discussion before..

Well I remembered this forum when I was eating my first (and probably last) kokoreç last night. I always thought it looked delicious, but had never seen it cut open.. which was when I started to doubt if i wanted to eat or not. From the outside it looks really nice and crispy, but when it gets cut you see the inside which is sort of white and 'slimy wet..' Being fully aware of what was inside, I wanted to try anyway as I had been curious to it for such a long time.

First I thought it was not too bad. Im rather fond of things that are crispy and fat at the same time But the real crispy parts that are dark have a very heavy taste and i didnt really like it.. and the very fat parts feel like snails in your mouth.. I probably had too many thoughts while eating it, so I liked the first few bites and then found it less an less attractive till I ordered an adana durum


Kadir told me that if Turkey joins the EU, this will be forbidden. I wonder why? (especially after having read they have similar food in Belgium and Greece?) And İ ate brain in france, so I wonder what the would be wrong with bağırsak?

Crappy connection made me post it twice, I am sorry!

Yes İ realized that..

Oh this forum is scary. I didnt get spam for over a week now and after I read this I just had 4 messages :-S

One must really have been a joke set up afer reading this forum because it included most of the things discussed upon here. No wonder someone like that needs a username that mentions him being lonely!

Could a native please check and correct if İ translated right? And are the words up to date or are some oldfashioned?

Having a full friday afetrnoon off and a lover who has important classes all day Now the only discussion I can have with myself is whether to do the dishes or study.
