Sources for Turkish Products

Post #1 - April 27th, 2009, 6:24 amTook a trip to Turkey recently and am now trying to try a bit of Turkish cooking. We spent 5 days on a Gulet with our group of 12 plus 1 guide and 3 crew. Cruise began at Marmaris, where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, and ended 40 miles to the east at Fetiyeh. Properly called the Turquoise coast. The cuisine was outstanding. Here is a photo of one of the lunches we had on deck.
Anyone have suggestions for good sources of Turkish products? I'm particularly interested in spices.Last edited by ljvick on April 28th, 2009, 6:22 am, edited 7 times in total.

Post #2 - April 27th, 2009, 7:53 amIf you're in the NW suburbs, I know there is a Turkish market at Elmhurst Road and Oakton. Its selection is fairly broad, although I've bought very little from them. Lots of spices, teas, etc.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Post #3 - April 27th, 2009, 8:59 amDepending on the item(s) you're interested in, the market at Foster and Clark might well have what you're after. They even have a website now and I'm sure if you called, they'd be happy to answer specific questions; I've always found the owners extremely helpful. Besides, they make a lot of stuff in-house and you can munch on some goodies while you shop or get stuff to take home. Good luck!

Post #4 - April 27th, 2009, 8:43 pmMarketplace on Oakton in Skokie has a good selection of Turkish products, particularly cheeses, olives, and the wedge-shaped wrappers for cigari (cigar-shaped pastries made with a dough slightly thicker than filo).Man : I can't understand how a poet like you can eat that stuff.

I think that "thicker than filo" stuff is called Brik (at least, in French). Good to know where to get it
