Kadaif is my grandfather's favourite. I, personally, prefer baklava (the one my father makes). Yummy...

So that's where the word pilaf comes from! ;D There're obviously lots of Turkish borrowings in Macedonian as well. I've stated some of them in the "learning Turkish language" thread and I was wondering if all of them have Turkish origin, or for some of them I am wrong. (nobody replied, however, but never mind :P).

I couldn't agree with you more! Turkish food is THE best!

And about the recipes.. probably the ingredients you buy are not the same as in Turkey so... your cooking skills can't help much

istanbulgal · 06-20-2008, 04:56 PM

What a boring game it was, until the last couple of minutes that is!!. Good for Turkey, but I could not help but feel sorry for Croatia...so close for them too.

cameronparkhurst · 06-20-2008, 08:55 PM

well for the most part--the ingrediants were the same

taner will just have to teach me

THE GAME!! holy cow taner and i were DYING!!!! That was great. CONGRATS!! I dont understand why arda got yellow carded...i saw the slow motion...there was NO reason...

croatia--you felt bad for croatia--ummmm no

did you see the croatian player that started to cry OMG what a cry baby!!!! Turkeys defense was really impressive. Turkey always comes through!! GOOD JOB TEAM!! Now on to GERMANY!!

Spring · 06-21-2008, 05:14 AM

You said it - "for the most parts"
Well.. vegetables can not be the same... rice is not the same (unless if you are lucky)... I even doubt the spices can be the same.. But.. it can be very similar so good luck

About the game... I only watched the end - when my neighbors started to get very noisy! And that was a huge cultural shock for me !

PS
later I watched some press conference or something and a Croatian guy was seriously almost crying

But well.. it's just a game for god's sake!

eGo1st · 06-21-2008, 05:15 AM

Thank you so much cameronparkhurst

eGo1st · 06-21-2008, 05:16 AM

And Thank you to Spring ,too

you are from where?=)

btw we havent talked with our neighbour nearly 3 months but after semih'S gol..they shouted like "kırmızııııı(red) and we said wihout realizing "beyazzz(white)" and we started to laugh so much..who says football doesnt bring peace

Spring · 06-21-2008, 07:00 AM

I am from Serbia

And considering that Croatia is just around the corner... and, without going any further into analyzing the situation, the neighborhood cheering was a bit strange though not too much... and the choice made me happy anyway

I haven't heard such noise (with gun shots and all!) since Serbia was running for some high positions in the game!
A neighbor of mine from whom I wouldn't really expect to cheer for anyone but Serbia said that Turkish team has a heart and that he would surely cheer for them
