Shopping at a Turkish supermarket often brings interesting new food items to the table.
My BFF was on holiday in Istambul 4 weeks ago and as gift she brought me coffee, sweets and a Turkish food magazine issue -SOFRA - with Ramadan specials.
With the help of Google translater, I worked my way through half of the magazine. Recipes that sounded good, the ingredients were translated as well.
But a lot of these ingredients were missing in my cupboards. That ment a trip to a Turkish supermarket.
Outside were the veggies and fruits presented. In the middle of it punnets with small green stuff. The sign above them said Almonds.
I had to get one punnet just to learn what they are, how they taste and what I can do with them. I asked the lady cashier what to do with them, and she told me to eat them as a snack with some salt.
Well, they taste like a mix of cucumber, unripe plum and nut.
Eating them as they are is not to my liking. Chewing on a piece of one, it gets more and more in my mouth.
