[tho it is not as cheap as ordinary bread, of course).<BR/><BR/>Chou-chou tastes more like savory sirloin tips!

I decided not to describe my constant search for anything that might remotely resemble Kurdish cheese, especially Wan cheese, kaymax or mast. . . at least not right now. Nor Kurdish honey.<BR/><BR/>Well, Philip, I know that you know that it takes one rat to tell another. Carrabba's doesn't even tempt me. I doubt that I can find anything that resembles nan here. All the fashionable European-style bakeries with all their varieties of bread don't count, in my mind, because those breads are totally different from nan. They are loaves and nan is not. As for the other bakeries, I haven't found any yet that have anything close to nan.<BR/><BR/>Let me guess, porcupine tastes like chicken, right?Mizgînhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850990661771197094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19312979.post-1137446816239691022006-01-16T13:26:00.000-08:002006-01-16T13:26:00.000-08:00BTW, I don't think it is fair to say there is no g...BTW, I don't think it is fair to say there is no good bread in America, there are THOUSANDS of nice little bakeries and restaurants of every conceivable cuisine where fresh "homeland-style" bread is baked thru the day.

Highly recommended. And thanks for a great post my friend. Maybe one day we'll break nan together. Where my family is from- Bursa, there is a bakery every 100 yards it seems. Traveling there nearly every year my whole life I also have vivid childhood memories of being sent by my betters to fetch a loaf of bread, and eating 1/2 of it by the time I made it home. No worries, you go and get another one- for about 15-20 cents US.IMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948155577806026379noreply@blogger.com
