Vegetables

[LindseyMitchell]

Visiting markets in Fethiye and Calis, there are huge displays of fantastic veg.
However, eating in restaurants, which we did for five weeks this year, when you do get veg, you’re  likely to get small sprigs of cauliflower and broccoli and a small chunk of carrot.
Does anyone know why this is?

[KKOB]

Because you only eat in restaurants that serve small sprigs of cauliflower and broccoli and a small chunk of carrot ?

[LindseyMitchell]

We ate in many different restaurants!
The only ones we went to twice were Motif and Meeting Point.
Where do you suggest I eat?

[davybill]

Yes it seems  most restaurants here dont do much veg, mostly chips and rice
unless you have Sunday lunch,

[LindseyMitchell]

Last thing I want on holiday is Sunday lunch!!
I saw a restaurant advertising said meal on Facebook the other day.  There was meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, mashed potato and gravy, and guess what, tiny amounts of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots - no more than a tablespoonful of veg.  When I do Sunday roast, I do at least four veg and make enough for two tablespoonfuls per person for each one.
Think we may go vegetarian next trip!

Well ho to the the market they have loads there , take it home and cook it, Essy.

Could it be that it is because that is what they think the Brits want?

[LindseyMitchell]

Davybill:  we always use hotels, as I do self catering at home.
1Calis:  sadly I think you may be right.

Could it be that it is because that is what they think the Brits want?

I can remember about twenty five years ago in Turunc asking for plain boiled potato's "oh came the reply we thought the British only ate chips"

Let's be clear here. The majority of Calis restaurants cater for Brits,either holiday or expats. If we want chips with everything then everyone will get chips on their plate. Either go to more traditional restaurants or speak to the management about the menu.
