Yildiz,
It was our staple lunch time meal/snack during our stay in Paris. Since we were 4, the hotel
we stayed had breakfast included in the price and they had a very generous breakfast spread.
We loaded up on breakfast, have a crepe during the day playing tourists and have a sit down
dinner at a restaurant in the evening/night. Worked out very cost effective.
That vendor was quite busy as you can see from the line.

A smart move when a tourist in a rather foreign world, Sury. : ) A pretty familiar and safe choice of food too as crepes / pancakes are almost native to any country cuisine; the name of the product changes but the basics are the same.
Thank you for the info. The business is busy and profitable as we witness in the photo. : )
Presentation may leave much to be desired but this is a weekend staple at home.
It is a combination of Top Ramen noodles, with (Asian) Indian spices and Mexican
Salsa (tomato based sauce). Salsa is made fresh or can be purchased, and I found
one particular brand called Pace Picante Sauce is most suited for the dish. It comes
in mild, medium and hot (be careful) in terms of chili pepper heat. I am not endorsing
any product but merely providing information and I have nothing to gain from the reference. http://www.pacefoods.com/
I think salsa is a very good sauce considering it's made solely form tomatoes maybe with less of the chili for the sensitive stomachs and digestive systems.
Here's a classic of the Turkish nation for breakfast: 'Sucuklu Yumurta' which can be translated as 'Egg with salami' to English. Mostly shared on a Sunday morning by all family members at a late breakfast because this type of salami which is fermented has garlic and lots of other spices inside.
Coffee or tea on the side. This time black coffee.... : )

I wouldn't even begin to to dare do that, Dr. Harout. : )) Worlds apart actually, taste-wise, but no other easy way of putting it into an explanation online, I'm afraid. I tried... but you nailed it!

Amazing...Mouth-watering !
( Note to self: Now I mustn't go and have any of Dr. Harout's suggestions because it's going to be a long hot, hot day here in Istanbul. It would almost be disasterous for my health... : ) )
I like noodles too Sury and that looks tasty, but I’d have to try a very small bit first, just in case.
Eggs and tomato with ‘salami’ looks like a very cheerful and enticing breakfast Yildiz, nicely photographed too, I haven’t had that kind of breakfast for many years now, not sure why though, probably the time it takes I guess, I just have a slice of toast with a sliced banana on it and a cup of coffee and that’s it nowadays, it’s not even worth taking a photo of.

Thanks for the nice comments. It's not that time-consuming actually. One of the fastest breakfast plates one can have since all ingredients are already naturally or otherwise produced, the eggs and 'sujuk'. 3 minutes tops if you have a pan around.
We definitely are not familiar with tost and banana, however simple it may appear to you. Bread and fruit combination is not very popular in the traditional sense over here except the use of raisins with bread and maybe banana and honey wrapped in pancakes... the list is not long or I know very little of such combinations yet.
I used to be very partial to banana and marmite (that's Vegemite for Greg) on toast for breakfast. Great combination of sweat and umami. Worth a try Greg ?

I think my objection to eggs and bacon or pastrami or whatever meat was mostly the intake of oily stuff at breakfast time or it might just have been laziness to do with having to wash and clean a fry-pan, plates, knives and forks etc. or all of the above. But eggs, fried tomato and a little bacon or a try of the ‘salami’ of yours on an occasional basis would be a nice change too for sure Yildiz. And yes toasted fruit loaf is also nice on occasion, I have also tried it with banana but that doesn’t work very well, too sweet.
Hmmm banana with vegemite on toast, I have heard of that one somewhere before Birma but have never been game to try it, I don’t mind vegemite but you have to be careful how much you use, same thing for example with hot mustard and barbecue sauce with cheese on a hot dog, (YUM!) you have to be careful not to overdo the hot mustard I think, there is a fine art in getting the balance just right.

What I gather from all these axplanatory sentences are:
1.. There is a reluctance among men to be in close proximity of the kitchen sink or the like. : ) No washing after= the perfect choice for a meal.
2.. Hot and spicy is even tolerable by our Greg but the the hot spices have to be his own choice and he likes mustard.
3.. The eggs Yildiz makes is OK every other day.
(By the way, I used only half a table spoon of virgin olive oil to fry the eggs and the Sujuk and not butter. I like olive oil better which some will disagree with me here I know. But olive oil is native to Aegean Sea and we have some of the best and human body reacts better to it.. : ) )
Thanks for deciding that you can have my recipe at least at some time, Greg.

Wow! you catch on fast detective Yildiz, and here was me thinking I’d obscured that little detail with lots of talk about hot dogs and mustard and stuff….coises foiled again.
Yes olive oil here too, and ‘butter’ is replaced in most cases with cholesterol lowering margarine (if you can believe the packaging), I guess it must be working ok, recent blood tests seemed to be ok, at least the Doc didn’t mention anything was out of whack in that regard so that was good.
I’ve heard about the olive oil coming from your region, I hear the Chinese can’t get enough of it too, they interviewed a farmer and he was wondering how he was going to cope with future demand.
Greg
Ps as usual there were accounts of fake Aegean labeled olive oil being sold in the Chinese market.

Yildiz,
So far most of the dishes shown are prepared by men on this thread. Based on those statistics alone, I will refute the allegation that there is
reluctance among men to be in close proximity of the kitchen sink or the like. Of course, if you are referring to Greg and Greg only, I am with you.
