Turkish Breakfast

[Sue]

On our first day of our holiday we always head for ther nearest cafe for a full English Breakfast, (dont know why as I dont eat them at home) this year we have decided to try a turkish breakfast, could anyone tell what this includes and the best place to have one

[reesy1959]

Turkish breakfasts I have had in the past usually consist of

lots of fresh bread
cheese
olives
eggs
tomatoes
cucumber

I dont know about the best place but my friend had them in Vince's last year and they looked very nice.

Personally I prefer the full English

We always have english on the 1st day and after that we get our bread from the bakery and make up up our own turkish breakfast and sit on the balcony, I have seen photos on here of turkish breakfasts and look nothing like mine (mine consists of cherry jam, cheese and chocolate spread)

[reesy1959]

Oh yes, there is always jam and marmalade with the breakfasts too.

I do love the bread in Turkey though, its delicious.

we always go to the bakery each morning to get a couple of loaves, the bread is that hot it starts to melt the plastic bag it is delicious

I'm assuming most of you stay self catering? As the Brekkie you usually get in the hotels consist of cheese, bread, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes, and jam and other suchness.

Best brekkie we had in ahotel was when we stayed at the Pasa beach in Marmaris, it had all the usual guff, but there was a little man who made fresh omlettes and fired eggs, it was ace.

Mmmm makes me drool now the thought of those tasty cheese, onion and chorizo omlettes.

Gotta admit though, the full english from some places are spot on. Best one i can recall (didnt bother last year) was from Kingsland, and they were only a quid a throw at the time (2006). Was quite surprising, becuase usually the quid brekkies are rubbish.

Gonna have to try them out again this year.

I dont really enjoy an English Breakfast abroad its only the first morning we have one and then dont bother for the next fortnight. It is a tradition we have kept to for years

Its like Mcdonalds, I dont eat them at home but wherever i go on holiday I have to try one

[LynnJenny]

never have full breakfast at home but love them abroad went to dreamboys said bacon had to be crispy came back just so and fefill on coffee yum lynn

We always stay B&B somewhere, so the Turkish breakfast is thrown in. For the first few years we didn't even try it, preferring the Full English. I must say though, over the years we have grown to like it and even have it at home sometimes. It's really lovely and light, and the bread is gorgeous. We don't eat the Olives though, think they are very much an acquired taste.

i am dying to go to the bakery and get the bread my sister-inlaw loves it she gets two when she gets back its still hot says lovely lynn

We were half board last year and I liked the Turkish breakfasts - mind you, I love olives - and the bread was very good indeed. Kids weren't so keen though - we ended up getting them cooked breakfasts at one of the restaurants on the way down to the beach each morning, but that was only £1, so good value. Self-catering this year though.

[reesy1959]

Most mornings I just make tea and have fresh bread and jam, usually thats enough until lunch.

I must have a trip to try that bakery this year, never knew about it until now.

I also like a Turkish breakfast. And I love the bread - got to be one of my biggest downfalls!

Reesy has already listed what a typical Turkish breakfast consists of, but quite often (in the hotels) there's fresh melon, cigara borec (cheese rolls - yumm!) and cake or a pastry of some description.

Some days we do have a full English (never have it at home) and I usually find that it keeps me going until 5pm when it's time for voddy and cheesy Crax (love them!) or some other savouries on the balcony

Wow, you must have had posh hotels

The Hotel I stayed in was a very basic one in Marmaris, and the only item from above I had was water melon (yuk) and we didnt even get eggs......

Thank goodness for Apartments.

I don't really like English or Turkish breakfast very much( meaning the cheese, olives etc).
Once we had something called Menhemen (Idon't know how it is spelt) which was based on eggs and i think veg thrown in. We had it early one morning about 7 years ago when we came out of Turkish House at 7am .
Our Turkish friends cooked it for us and it was lovely.
I don't know whether this is actually a breakfast meal in Turkey or not.

LOve the Turkish Breakfast. It's usually as rees says but with cherry jam as well. It's fairly light so you can go swimming etc. fairly quickly afterwards without that "stuffed" feeling
