    You know what, my Kebab T Shirt avatar looks more appetising than the crap this mad woman would produce. She probably did it at one of these social classes for folks with learning disabilities as she surely has a very disturbed brain which obviously needs stimulating on a regular basis by Mr Bus Depot askim. affraid

    That reminds me of this tune, hope you all enjoy

    Oh, another barmy Yank!

    Perhaps someone should tell the desperate Reyhan that Manti is Turkish Ravioli! Oh, and you don't need to faff about trying to make little parcels of it - especially when your avatar can't taste it! Exclamation

    Ertie occasionally (once in a blue moon) will buy a packet of Manti from the Turkish supermarket - dead simple! tongue It comes in a see-through bag, just like pasta does, and you have a choice between plain or Soya-filled. Some people might like to throw away half a day of their life making the dough and putting a quarter of a teaspoon of meat inside the tiny parcels - but as you SMOTHER it in garlic yogurt, olive oil and chilli pepper - you can't taste the meat! All you can taste is garlic and chilli! You could actually use dumpling mix, plain pasta shells - or even cardboard shells if you so wished. No-one would ever know!

    Of course you can buy Manti, Sally! It's only pasta! Tiny teeny-weeny parcels of pasta! When village women are bored they'll happily spend a whole day making thousands of little parcels, but you could put cow dung inside, and no-one would ever know -you pour heaps of VERY garlicky yogurt and chilli flakes over the top - so you can't taste the meat inside the parcels (you can't see it, either - without a microscope!) I think it was invented to keep Turkish women busy!

    You can buy it (ready-made) in packets! Just like any other pasta. In fact, the dried one in packets is prized more dearly as it has more 'bite' - it's not all sloppy and gooey. I don't eat the stuff myself: well, that's not entirely true - I'll have a few spoonfuls - but that's it. It's just pasta and yogurt. Exclamation

    Here you go:

    http://www.turkishsupermarket.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=775

    That's the plain Manti, but they also do the Soya one,too. The fresh one with meat (like our fresh Ravioli in the chilled cabines are there , too) but you have to go to the supermarket to see if there's any in stock. They usually sell that one ready-cooked as a take-away. But it doesn't matter which one you buy; they all taste the same with all the garlic and chilli overpowering any flavours of the ingredients.

    Hi Judith,

    I think a lot of Turkish men would disagree with you there. They seem fiercely proud of their fine cuisine, and even use it as a medicine in some instances. I have heard that they use wild garlic and chilli peppers to bring them round after having sex with very fat women and geriatrics cyclops You know those soup kitchens they have out there? The ones open until about 4 in the morning? They're actually a refined form of self-harming. They go and tuck into Tripe Soup or Brain Soup not just to cure their hangovers, but to try and confuse their brain signals by eating something so revolting it will take away the memory of what it felt like being on top of a giant sweaty whale, or crinkly old crumbly who'd lost her dentures.

    Don't forget, too, Turkish men are very macho, and like nothing better than to prove their robust masculinity by popping the hottest-looking chilli pepper into their mouths, and watching you watch them as they chew on it without their eyes watering and without their nose flushing red. It means they're tough and manly and can handle any situation.

    And if they heard you say you found doner kebabs underwhelming they'd probably eye you with deep suspicion and hizz at you every time you passed by. I read somewhere that some doner kebabs have about 15 different types of meat in each 'elephant leg' including all the extra little bits of the animal we wouldn't think they'd use : ground teeth, gums, scrotums, anus, hooves, nail clippings, glands - it's all full of goodness, apparently. And very tasty smothered in very hot chilli sauce and garlic yogurt.

    Another added bonus of eating doner kebabs is it's cheap and cheerful, and often served up by a grinning chef who tries to catch your eye and wink at you as he's carving the meat. Note: the longer they take to carve it the more they want to talk to you. And watch out for their seductive gaze as they sprinkle lots of salad over it and pile extra tomato on to try and impress you.

    Of course, I haven't even touched on "1000 ways to cook an aubergine" or "how to stuff a pepper/tomato/vine leaf every day for 10 years, without going insane". Or how make lentil soup look 'interesting' by swirling red chilli flakes on top with a dollop of yogurt, or squeeze of lemon juice.

    Rice pilaf is the dish that really gets them going, though. The women, that is. I'm sure you've noticed how very competitive women become when it comes to cooking this extremely complicated dish clown No-one cooks pilaf better than they do, and if you can make pilaf you're set for life! Your man will NEVER leave you, and everyone will either be very jealous of your cooking skills, or hold you in deep admiration and speak in hushed tones when they come round to dinner and watch you serving the pilaf up. Oh, and don't forget the beans! Beans in watery tomato sauce - that's the sort of food you'd expect to find at The Ritz.

    I actually find one aspect of Turkish food rather strange. It's quite a paradox that chilli peppers are known to speed up the metabolism, and should, by rights, keep you alert. Yet so many Turkish men love zleeeeeeeping! You noticed that? Sleep

    Good job I did though isn't it Ladybird? If I hadn't I would never had met my gorgeous Turkish husband - am I making you green with envy there...? Wink

    As it goes my husband doesn't go a bomb on English food. Mind you, I suppose as he's Turkish that's only to be expected and understood - after all, in your book I suppose he has been brought up on the bestest food in the world. Razz

    Ladybird

    I too am getting tired of your utter stupidity, and one line idiotic quotes.

    Now if you are mentally challenged, flutter off over the road as they have people of a similar mentality as yourself and are far better equiped to be able to accommodate your special needs and will be able to communicate with you with their own one liners, a little bit like FaceBook but less upmarket if that is possible.

    I'd say that Ladybird's avatar picture pretty accurately reflects her disposition, personality and level of intellect.

    I take it you do realise that "bucket of spew" is a Turkish dish Ladybird? How dare you talk about Turkish food like that. Go and wash your mouth out with soap! If this were another site you'd probably be banned for making such a thoroughly disrespectful and offensive remark.

    Ladybird,

    I've given you lots of chances, but you've left me no option but to ban you. I do try not to ban people even if they're idiotic, but your comments are becoming increasingly antagonistic and you're clearly trying to cause trouble.

    Incidentally, the word 'spew' is a verb, but I don't expect you to know that. And I'm sure you didn't mean 'stew'.

    It's quite ironic that for someone who's probably a Turkophile you don't realise that the dish in Judith's avatar is Guvec, which is a delicious and nutritious Turkish meal. I suppose you're the type of numpty who makes Menemen a la Sandie - without eggs!

    Oh, she was a miserable old trout, so banning her will probably make her even more moody! Never mind, I do believe she's a member on the other TC group - so she can have fun over there instead!

    By the way, I had to correct my grammar in my last post - only because I realised some silly numpty would point it out - and I'd mentioned verbs lol

    "Fun" Strawbs? Do you think Ladybird knows how to have fun? I get the distinct impresson she's the type who doesn't have much fun in her life. Poor old soul. It's a shame that some people are so perpetually miserable isn't it?

    Hi THD

    I was only thinking the same myself, I think she is absolutely furious with smoking hot Ken for writing a thread about Love Rats and posting a link 'Turkish Men - Why Your Holiday Romance is Doomed'. The content of Ken's post was very honest and it is my belief that 'if the cap fits' king and most certainly in Rey's case the cap fit her exactly santa

    I reacon the mad Yank has gone off to sulk wah wah. At least it may one day save her from a very expensive and wasted trip to Turkey, and could in fact save her life.
