Things That Are Better in Turkey

The more obvious ones like veg, cherries etc of course...

The bread.  No matter what style of FRESH bread we buy it always tastes better than the cotton wool that passes for bread in the UK.

I loved the fact that I didn't ever want a kilo of cucumbers and when I tried to buy a single one at the market they wouldn't take any money for it at all

Had that with only wanting 2 peppers - free, 10 screws - no charge, 2 jubilee clips - no charge, wanting the exact same car port as my Turkish neighbor - 350Tl more![!] - No deal!
