Turkey Moves to the North West of England
I live up in the North West of England, moved here from Manchester, my Turkish food shopping days were over. Been holidaying in Turkey for over 30 years & you cannot help it - you not only fall in love with the country & the people, you become obsessed with the food! It started off me looking for Turkish Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I found a place in Turkey who press theirs & sell it thru a shop in London. Couldn't believe the price so I purchased 5L. It arrived the next day. Mailshot I received offered £5 off shopping which equated to free p&p so I made an order. Filled my virtual basket, one order was a spinach & Feta cheese wheel a cigar shaped pastry rolled round, round continued until the size of a 12" pizza. Goods arrived, opened & I noted the insulated bag which caused panic and disappointment because it must mean the Feta cheese pastry has defrosted? & ruined - I was wrong. The Feta & Spinach wheel had been packed in an insulated bag containing an ice pack. Though defrosted it was cold. Treating it like a pizza I cut out a triangle as you would a pizza slice & put into my air fryer- 20 mins later, perfection! And it was just the flavour I love. Stuffed aubergines, vine leaves, amazing bread - thanks to Best Grocery I had a day of memories as well as remembering great food. People of Best Grocery have welcomed me to their community which is a wonderful in itself. A disability affects my mobility which means I am no longer able to travel to Kalkan & Fethiye are of Turkey any more so now, with the best of ideas, with the help of Best Grocery - I bring Turkey to me!
