Sure did. Eating is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, so I couldn’t pass up trying this exotic. I'd say the inside was mild and somewhat squishy (wonder if it had been undercooked). The exterior was nutty and crisp, reminiscent of a fried shrimp shell. The seasoning carried it, it was more about texture than flavor. The meat skewers I had were more enjoyable, but it was still a unique taste nevertheless.

Two poached eggs with several slices of fermented chicken sausage (these are slightly larger than 1 Euro coin in size), sorry no photo this time, but it looked good!

 

[SonicTheHedgeyboy]

A mango, sliced potatoes and tea.

Gentle potato fries. I am manually cutting them with a normal knife as thin as possible, and fry them in at most 2 spoonful of olive oil. Since I don't use salt or rinse them before, they stick together through their starch, but the more you fry them, they start to separate themselves down to 2-3 chips. These can be served as usual fries, with ranch or cheddar sauces etc. I like this with red pepper powder and yoghurt.

Just ate. My breakfast time is relatively early compared to most people around 530 am unless Im running late.

I had oatmeal and eggs along with Chapati & Kadala. Image below. https://share.google/lPw92q4tbQu4hzrut

I like chapati, we call a very similar thing "gözleme" here, coming from the "göz", = "eye" like dark circles appearing while baking them.

simmered some tomatoes with one spoonful of olive oil, together a matchbox size white cheese and some baked vegetable and ranch sauced potato chips.

Sounds yummy but we need a visual for the next one.

I made Japanese curry. It's a good thing Sasa produced these. Whenever I miss japanese curry, I can make it anytime! There's a supermarket nearby too

 

[SonicTheHedgeyboy]

Fried spagetthi, icecream and potato fries.

Bulgur rice with two small cucumber pickles and a tablet of chicken bouillon, no pic as it did not look fantastic )

I like spaghetti alla carbonara, spaghetti allo scoglio and orecchiette al pesto the most but i don't eat them very often

carbonara and orecchiette sort of reminded me pizzas, but spaghetti allo scoglio looks like a real unique thing. Let's say, would you choose that in an important dinner, or is it not that fancy?

I usually eat pasta for lunch, at dinner is more unlikely. But depending on how good you cook a nice pasta dish can be had even in a "fancy" place especially for lunch, even in a somewhat basic seasoning.

Thin, chip-like potato slices fryed with two spoons of olive oil, with white cheese, half tomato and green olive slice sides.

First, you fill a glass with dry chickpeas, and submerge them in water for 24 hours. Then, you prepare 1 - 1.5 L of boiled water and immediately put that and chickpeas in a pot. Add a spoonful of red pepper paste and a spoon of olive oil. The rest is patiently waiting in low heat (but the water should boil). When the water is almost all boiledup, stop heating and wait for a minimum of 10 minutes. Optionally you can add some purple onion but you should definitely have a glass of ayran. Enjoy!

Cherry, peas and noodles.

I think im adicted to noodles.

:

 

[arrowofsky]

One middle size onion, as thin as possible slices (but not too much),
60-70 g of sausages (for more, onion should be larger, too),
A middle sized tomato sliced in cubes
Two spoons of liquid oil.

You took all of it like this to a frying pan and fry them in low power mode:

Check onion especially, it should not burn, but I recommend to kill them completely without burning/caramelizing.
Then, it will look like this after a while.

So simple, yet so delicious, and quite cheap. This costs only 1 euro equivalent in Türkiye, and possibly would be cheaper in many other places of the world. Enjoy
