Ken Grubb 1,403 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 There is not one single place in downtown Antalya, Lara, or Konyaaltı where one can get a "proper English breakfast." I had never even had one before I came to Turkey, but the English breakfast is the ultimate. I have to move to where the Brits are to get a "proper English breakfast." angelaturkey 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IbrahimAbi 638 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 No Ken, believe me you don't. Just visit, stay a night and travel home. Much better, believe me. Fly to TRNC for a few days, do some shopping, enjoy the breakfasts, some excellent restaurants, and then fly back to Antalya. You will appreciate being home after all the Brits in TRNC. angelaturkey and Ken Grubb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Stein 52 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Wherever the Brits are on the Aegean, There's a better variety of food. Fish and chips. Roast beef on Sunday. Curry. Ham. Mexican and Italian and Chinese food, as it were. It isn't all the food from my country that I miss, but it's more than the usual köfte, kebap, and pide, etc. in the rest of Turkey.

Matthew G 38 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Very funny, But I can't say anything negative our reputation isn't the best either angelaturkey and Ken Grubb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew G 38 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I find that shocking that you cant get the Full Monty somewhere in Antalya, I was only there once and it appeared pretty international (Look where I am at) after all I was there during the Altin portakal film festival. I do remember being in Bodrum and lots of places were catering to the Brits and I saw adverts on the street for Full English Breakfasts but I don't know about their authenticity, I don't eat pork therefore I never investigated. I do miss Soda Frys though from the UK It's been so long since I have been to Ulster, I have practically forgotten about them. angelaturkey and Ken Grubb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IbrahimAbi 638 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 What on Earth is a soda fry? Been British all my life and eaten a few FEBs too, but never heard of them. Miss the potato cakes though, and crumpets. Tried to make some crumpets recently, bit of a disaster. Ken Grubb and angelaturkey 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew G 38 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 A Soda Fry a fried Soda Bread it's exclusive to Northern Ireland. Is is usually served in their version of a FEB. angelaturkey and IbrahimAbi 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IbrahimAbi 638 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I was standing behind some Brit in the chemist (pharmacy) in Turkey once, I was stunned to hear them tell the pharmacist that 'I am feeling a little under the weather' How on earth is a second language (at best) person supposed to understand that?

IbrahimAbi 638 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yes, sometimes you just say things without joined-up thinking. I remember sitting in the amphitheatre in Bodrum looking out to sea, and telling the missus quite seriously that 'They must have had a cracking view of the castle when they were watching those plays'. It took me a moment catch on to why she was laughing. Matthew G 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew G 38 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Perhaps I'm a tad bias but somehow your "mistake" seems to be a bit more forgiving. If I said your comment to my missus I think she would have agreed with the "Cracking view of the castle." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
