Our Daily Bread

[Susiepink]

Mmmnnn all this talk of bread! I love the bread here in Turkey, but I try not to buy it too often, carbs and all that! I buy a sliced loaf in Kipa with nuts and seeds in and pay 4.95tl, shock horror, but it does freeze well and I only defrost a couple of slices when required.

i buy our bread from  the the same baker rimms  we get there tin loaf sliced don't know if that has gone up it was 2tl but the nicest bread around well worth it .   

Agree with you lance, we buy the very same loaf which was only 1.5 lira this time last year, he's now upped the price to 2.5 lira

So here's the power of shopping around. My favourite loaf at the bakery near to Zayra 2 which has just increased (again) in price to 2.5 lira weighed 380 grams. I've just bought a very similar loaf in the bakery next door to A101 in Gunlukbasi, this loaf weighs 540 grams and cost ........... 1.5 lira !

No prizes for guessing where my money will be spent in future.

Went on Friday - nice lady - same price 1.5 lira - so looks like they will be getting busier :-)

Walked there and back this evening - 37 mins inc a pleasant chat with Lokman the Plumber in the shop! (looks like tradesmen go there as well - always a good sign) :-)
Did "a George" and weighed it on return - big round loaf- sliced 550 gms and I reckon the walk means i can have 2 extra slices :-)
