Things You Bring Back From Turkey
« on: December 17, 2018, 17:48:14 PM »
There are quite a few topics about things people take to Turkey, what about things you stock up on when out there?

We love the Turkish mayonez and bring some back. Also these, they help make meatballs into koftes  :)

Believe it or not, wooden spoons and catapults. I always visit the old fellas by the canal at the Tuesday market and buy several from each of them. They're artisans, relatively poor, and it's my way of giving them some support.

I got some very strange looks from the security lads at Dalaman the last time I went through. ( Come on all you wannabe comedians. I've fed you a great line there.  ;) )

Even if I were a wannabe comedian  :) I wouldn't dream of give a punch line to such a nice post   :).

Olive oil soap
Ventolin inhalers
Aftershave & perfume from D & P Perfumum
Endless pieces of tat - usually costume jewellery - and as soon as I walk out of the shop my husband says "I'd better get the superglue out" - because nine times out of ten it breaks!! 
Tea towels from the market

An almost empty suitcase, so that I can stock up on all those ex-pat goodies when I'm in the UK  :D
