Sorry if I've done the wrong thing dragging this topic up again,  but can anyone confirm if Ozen Pide in Ciftlik is still as good and still open? Planning to mosey on up later as I need to get my pide fix.

Its still just as good, cant get a beer there now becuase they are oppsite the mosque.  He doesnt mind if you buy a beer from Melissa next door and drink it there lol.

Have you tried Zayra opp Cafe Pazzar, fantastic pide, had one their Monday night.

Oh well, there goes the secular republic....

That's great info though.  Thanks.  Will try the Zayra and save Ozen for if I manage to do a day off the pop next week.

Kokorec

Tastes wonderful BUT that awful texture.

Intestines (hopefully perfectly cleaned out) with sweetbreads (thymus gland) - I'd rather have a leg of lamb please.....

I get brave after a couple of beers and give then yet another try - part way through I give up chewing.

Am I getting badly prepared kokorec  or is that normal?

You're getting cr4p kokorec. It's not often that you get them with sweetbreads around Fethiye. They're usually just pure intestines with added spices and salad.

I must admit that the best one's have been from roadside kiosks around Konya and Sivas and also made by an old shepherd neighbour of ours in Kaya.

The best pide's in Calis are at Amethist on the Dolphin roundabout, my favourites, chicken, mushroom and cheese or sausage cheese and egg and real chips. Now anyone who knows me, will tell you I know a thing or two about Pide.

Actually ended up going to Ozen. Very good.  3 pides,  one pizza, 4 cans of soda and a bit of salad 55 lira/12 quid. We spent another 50 Lira on taxis from Koca Calis,  though. It's opposite a barber rather than a mosque (the mosque looked to be a quarter mile away)  and beer was on the menu,  although we had resolved to give our poor livers a rest anyway.

I've been to Ametist 4 or 5 times over the past few years and think they are good,  although I do think Ozen trumps them. It's not for those who enjoy let's say sophisticated decor/surroundings,  however. Good job Mrs Villain didn't spot about 200 ants having a party in the see-through sugarcube bowl on the next table,  too. There would have been a riot.
