Thought I'd add a slant to 'Your Dining Requirements When Holdaying in Çalış'.What are members requirements when they return to the UK for a visit?
Top of my list is at least 2 trips to the Bejing Banquet at Danderhall followed closely by a white pudding supper from the chippy in North Berwick.Lunch at the Westbarns Inn is a must at least twice.If eating at home then yellow fish,haggis and swede,gluten free quiche and smoked trout has to be on the menu.I also love scouring the supermarket shelves for gluten free products which are very scarse here.
Let me know what you 'must have' on your return.

I look forward to a pint rather than food.  So if I want to really hit the 'Oh how I've missed you' spot.  Then any of the following, in no particular order, Youngs Ordinary or Special, Fullers London Pride, Harveys Sussex Best or anything from the Hall and Woodhouse range mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
