Me take my blinkers off? If that is correct, please take me up on my question Can you reply and point out to me the "too many people on here" telling you what you should or should not be eating.

People are telling you what they like to eat when they are in Turkey, not what you should be eating. Unless you can point even ONE example out to me, davybill? Or just reply that I am wrong, the meaning of that being you can't point out any examples!!!

It would seem that my concern over street dogs in the Calis area are nothing compared to the concern I should have with EPKs in the area :D.
Lucky for me I can see such people a mile away and know how to conduct myself in such higher presence of people like this.The offer of a visit to the dog home while we are in the area sounds all the more appealing... rather than sitting with EPKs in a bar/cafe.

Never been to Calis before ( first visit to the area this year ) but this is a story that I can relate to with other areas/countries :D.

I like to eat Turkish food when in Turkey,  Greek Food when in Greece etc.,  I come on holiday and want a change from the British food I eat every day.  It's lovely to eat out and eat the food of the country.  So I can sympathise with what Suzanne writes.
However, I do understand that the Brits living in Calis long for the food they used to get at home and therefore want Fish & Chips, Sunday Roasts, Full English Breakfasts, which is fine.   I have no problem with that.   I am sure the Turks  also find it a great to get a MacDonald's every now and then.  They also probably enjoy the experience of British Food in local cafes, the kids maybe ask their parents can they go out for an "English". It has been introducted to their area, they want to sample it.    This does not mean that Turkish people prefer British food to their own,  
Perhaps some of the Calis British residents (not all)  do not understand that some holiday makers view of the place is totally different from theirs.  Most holiday makers long to keep their holiday resort wherever it is a "foreign" holiday resort, with exotic fantastic food.   They come away for a complete change.   They are staying for a short time and want to make it memorable.
So lets cut Suzanne our new member a little slack.  She has her views of what she and her family want to eat on holiday and she is entitled to voice her opinion on the Forum.

I have no idea why people have such strong views about the Brits wanting fish & chips and bacon sandwiches abroad. Italian restaurants here in the UK are full of Italians. Whenever we went from Turkey to Britain for an exhibition, what did all the Turkish exhibitors want to find? A Turkish restaurant. Even though we were IN Turkey less than 24 hours earlier. I tried just about every Turkish dish I could during my time in Turkey, but it didn't stop me having a full English breakfast as and when required  :)

Keith, I'll tell you why. On one of my first visits to Turkey I stumbled across a little Turkish mountain village called Hisaronu. Walking down the high street one day I was offered all kinds of exotic delights, Sunday Roast, Pie and Chips and one guy rubbed his hands together and announced that his place was serving "Bisto Gravy" !!!

I have absolutely no problem with "English Food" being on offer but for God's sake make it the exception rather than the rule.

The small village I live in between Liverpool and Manchester is hardly awash with Turkish restaurants and barbers, so why should I expect to find a proliferation of Chippies over there ?
