the kellogs cornfakes in turkey taste nothing like the english ones.but nestles cornflakes do

I can`t agree with that, Nestle`s cornflakes don`t taste anything like Kellog`s   :D

I always take butter with me!  Haven't found a decent pack of butter in Turkey yet!  

Plan to bring bacon, cheese and tuna in the summer too.

  Kenny likes to take a tin of corned beef,but me, defo the bacon.

Would just like to say unless you have dietary requirements please try some of the turkish food other wise whats the point in coming to Turkiye . Experience a turkish breakfast, lunch, dinner etc. I know this is about self catering but honest Turkish food is the best. x x x

I pack some bacon and a block of cheese. Definately take your own coffee. I drink Kenco and you ant get it there. I also take a desent tea bag!!!. And my mum packs tins of ham and corn beef when she goes....bless. Have a wonderful holiday.oh y the way I pack my own hairspray.... the turkish stuff stinks and does nothing...just nakes your hair smell!!!!:D

If you have fussy kids take something for them that you know they will eat.
My grandson was with us last year and lived on bread, cheese, ham and tomatoes.  I got a packet of cheese sauce and made him macaroni but there was parsley in the sauce and I had to pick out the "green bits" before he would taste it.  
I cheated once he started eating it though
We found we had less hassle if we fed him before we went out.

I find that my taste in food changes when I am here because of the heat. I love a glass of cold Ayran (yoghurt, water and salt) when it is really hot. I do not think that I would drink it in England though.
The turkish breakfast of chay and simit is nice too.

lol !  I've just looked at the contents of my 'to be packed' pile and it consists of:  heinz salad cream, bbq sauce, colmans mustard, basalmic vinegar, golden breadcrumbs, egg noodles, and a mint marinade we love on lamb chops....oh ! and caesar salad sauce (cos on holiday I;m just too damn lazy to make it !!!).  Then the day we fly I get the catering pack of bacon, sausages and ham !!!   We adore Turkish food, but theres nothing nicer than waking up to a full english when you arrive on your first days hol !

That's great! But I'm puzzled. How do you pack bacon, cheese, sausages etc? Do you take a coolbag with freezer blocks in it? Do you carry it on or check it into the hold?
