Quoting oreniyorum8: I love it, and i have on many ocassions cooked it but it never quite tastes the same as what you get here in turkey! |
I ll save you some, next time. I cook this often, so you wont have to wait long. I also love it without meat. In greece (stolen from you of course) we call it Imam bayldi.
You are right. It never tastes the same as what you get in Turkia. And this is not only because I love anything Turkish. I guess it has a simple practical explanation as well. Our vegetables, probably cause of the chemical stuff they use to make them grow early and look appealing, have lost their taste. Everything tastes like grass. For example, you can't get the real smell of a tomato anymore. Or 'lahana'... they taste here like plastic.
But somehow, 'development' in this sector, has not touched Turkia yet. I can still smell and taste fruits and vegetables there, like I do when I take them from my grandparent's field in their village.
Lat year, I used to come often to Kesan, which is close to the Greek-Turkish borders, just to visit the bazar on Saturdays and shop delicious fruits and vegetables.
Whatever you cook with them, is quaranteed that it will make a delicious result.
Oh ok I know. When I start talking about cooking, I never stop!
