Having some food cravings lately. Even though I really prefer Turkish food to anything I ate while growing up.. shhhhhh!! Don't tell my mom!

I miss this kind of bacon:


and Salt and Vinegar Chips! (Chips, NOT crisps.)


and Ginger Snaps


and Smarties!!!


That's all....today.

About four or five years ago, the salt and vinegar crisps were actually being sold here. Unfortunately they seem to have disappeared again.

It makes a nice change to eat food that doesn't turn your internals into something that resembles chewed toffee .Give me porridge every time .

Are you saying you don't care for Turkish food? I get cravings sometimes, cravings directly tied to the level of my homesickness, but I have to say that TURKISH FOOD ROCKS. mmmmmmmmm sarma....

Mother-is-law and I are making sarma(yaprak dolması) today. mmmmmm stuffed grape leaves.....mmmm

To be fair, Turkish cuisine is probably a lot healthier than Scottish cuisine. (or English for that matter)

Hmmm, that's the second time you've made that typo. Maybe there is something to the Freudian slip dmb mentioned earlier Very Happy .

My hubby makes a mean sarma. Better than I ever could. Even better than my own mother's version - though she hates to be reminded of that...
