Wasn´t sure where to post this. Is Lemon Curd something that Turkish people make? I was thinking of taking some for my friends but I don´t want to take it if it´s something that´s already common there. Thanks in advance.

I just checked it on the net to see what it is, as being from İstanbul, I have never tried and seen it. For me it´s a new thing.

I read that it is something from England. I have never heard and tried either.
If you want, here is a video about it:

Scottish as well as I remember my mother making it. It is a mixture of the juice of lemons,eggs,sugar and butter cooked on a low heat until it thickens. Not recommended for those with cholesterol problems.

Thanks everyone. I´ve made it myself several times, I just wanted to make sure I wasn´t taking something to my Turkish friends, that they already knew very well. It´s also known as lemon cheese although there´s no cheese in it.

You can use it as you would jam. So you can eat it on bread or make tarts with it.My mum used to make it too.

Quoting mylo: Have you thought about Marmite? |
Yes I could take some marmite. I also thought about taking crumpets and pikelets.
I´m going to make a brack loaf and some ginger bread/parkin.
I took some loose Yorkshire tea last time and wanted to take Lancashire tea this time, but it´s in tea bags, so I won´t bother.

The last time I was there my friend gave me some of her home made marmalade. It was delicious, but I usually don´t like marmalade.
I thought I might make some scones.

Has Fanny Cradock been resurected? How about a receipe for pressed tongue!
And while on the subject of Lemon Curd, which reminded my of a childhood days, lemon curd tart and custard, what about treacle tart with cornflakes in it! Yum Yum!
