No demand no supply, simple

Very well put Jacqui, I agree with everything you wrote.

Members of the forum did you not do the same two years ago, on how to spot a brit on holiday in Calis and taking the p-ss out of them so easy to forget and point the finger, me i'm just a holiday maker out to enjoy my self and take in the beauty and culture of turkey.

If you want a deadly serious forum with no pulling of legs, we can make it so. There is a difference between joking about things and telling people what they should and shouldn't do with their money. Which doesn't happen, except in the minds of a few on here, that is the point. I do recall the topic you mention, I made a couple of contributions myself - possibly even started it - and also said that I had done most of the ones contributed by others myself at one time or another. How superior of members to laugh at someone pouring ayran on their cornflakes. To be on CBF I guess people need to lighten up a bit for some topics.

I empathise with Jacqui Harvey.When on holiday,I eat the local food,Turkish,Greek,Spanish etc.I even buy recipe books from every Country I visit.It's part of the holiday experience.Sometimes,I do like roast beef,Scottish/English breakfast etc.Today,very shortly,It's almost ready,we are having Greek lemon chicken with garlic mushrooms and Scottish potatoes.Tomorrow,I am using my own grown vine leaves to make my own Turkish/Greek Dolmades.Welcome to sunny Cambuslang the hub of international cuisine .Tuesday,Spanish meatballs:P.All using Scottish grown or reared produce.

Mmm sounds nice sannyrut, My hubby tried his hand at making Ezme on friday.. I was told to keep my fingers out the tub untill it had a few days rest....Today I had it with burnt scotish rolls and pork chops off the barbie...and must say he got it spot on the money with his choice of food and his ezme was worth the wait... even our guests praised his ezme.
HIs head is now as big as baloon bread.

We joined this Forum to keep abreast of Calis/Turkish/ life from a Brits point of view, in the 50 weeks a year we arent there.We wanted to get a feel for Brits living in Turkey, as we aspire to this.
You could take any cross section of the members and you would probably find them in your own environment
Life appears to be the same there as here.
The food is becoming westernised
Immigrants tend to live in their own communities
Loud people make the most noise
The quiet people go unnoticed
The stirrer keeps stiring
Quiz and karouki nights abound
People shop in the supermarkets cos its cheaper (Tesco will rule the world!)
But, we are still coming for our two weeks of sun,Effes quietly drunk, Turkish breakfasts,beautiful sunsets, occasional sincere Turkish smiles and a dance round the fire in Uzumlu.

Loud people make the most noise? Yes that happens in most places, not just Calis

I would agree with some of it though. It does appear to have moved from Adana Kebap to karaoke and chicken in a basket but you have to look at everything in terms of demand and supply once again, Turkish bar and restaurant owners will not put on events unless there is a demand locally. I suppose the numbers are greater these days so there are more people wanting such things.
