Buying Turkish Peppers in UK?
« on: May 09, 2013, 10:02:20 AM »
Does anyone know where the large and long Turkish green peppers can be sourced in the UK? The ones you often see served with meals bbq'ed. Like the ones on the left here:




I've not seen them in supermarkets or greengrocers, just wondered if anyone knows of somewhere to try. Not Stoke Newington or Haringey though, somewhere perhaps national - thanks   :)

Most of the big supermarkets around our way sell them. I guess that Perthchestershire isn't too popular with Asians but I would think you might be able to find an Asian Supermarket somewhere near you that'll have them.

Or, if there's an Asian restaurant locally that you know, why not ask them if you can buy off of them. At least they should be fresh.

We don't have that many Asians to be honest. We have lots of Polish folks, I'll try their shops :D

I get them from my local Turkish shop along with other goodies which we have when away in Turkey, but we are a long way from you up there ;D
