Me too Heather - and I loved the fact that you could buy double yolkers there easily too. It must be the eggyness of the eggs that cause my various attempts at Menemen to fall short.

Go to farm shop on road to bridge of earn . Best eggs in the area. 1.50 for six

Nichola - home produced honey?  Do you have your own hives then?

I meant bought from the villagers at the markets as opposed to from the supermarket, but as it happens we used to keep bees in the UK and I am quite well versed in the art of bee keeping and honey production.

Me to, I had three hives at the bottom of my garden but lost them all to wasps in a single season. I gave up after that. :-[

Oh no that's terrible. I don't like wasps.

We used to have the hives dotted around the countryside after keeping them in the garden turned out to be a bit of a pain when they swarmed or got caught in my hair. It was nice having honey with different flavours depending on their location.

Black Olives - can't find any in the UK to rival them. However, my local kebab shop owner can import them for me  :D

Ayran - delicious

Jerry boat homemade garlic and chilli sauce for his garlic bread :D

You can get the black olives in Tesco Russ (I spent ages looking for them, only finding the Greek ones). They are in the Turkish/World foods section, plastic container I think the brand is Durmaz - exactly the ones you crave  :)

The dates from the smiley "nut lady" whose stall is next to the toilets on the Tuesday market are absolutely delicious.  I have never tasted such moist dates before.
