Cacik & ezine > Tzatziki & feta

It's been 9 months since I moved to Vancouver. Even though we have a lot of Turkish restaurants and markets, there are still some things they don't have or can't make as good as the ones in Turkey. Last week, I ordered food from a Turkish restaurant and I was disappointed. The food was not bad, but it was not as good as the ones back home. Which led me to rank the Turkish food/snacks and drinks that I miss the most in Vancouver. Here is the list:

1. Kiymali kol borek (Karakoy)
2. Kir pidesi
3. Ezine peynir (Preferably Mandiradan marka, tam yagli olgunlastirilmis)
4. Lahmacun
5. Ozerhisar ayran
6. Kirkagac kavun
7. Pastirma
8. Cigkofte
9. Fasulye tursusu
10. Midye
11. Cumhuriyet / apikoglu sucuk
12. Islak hamburger (kizilkayalar)
13. Tantuni
14. Beyaz lahana / yaprak sarma
15. Kuru patlican dolma
16. Icli kofte
17. Soguk baklava
18. Kahvaltilik kavurma donuk
19. White redbull (coconut & acai, surprised they don't have it here)
20. Beypazari karadut & frenk uzumlu

Honorable mentions:

• Kandil simit
• Simit / acma / pogaca
• Tirnak / ramazan pide
• Hamsi pilav
• Bosnak mantisi
• Iskembe corba (Sorry not sorry)

I might edit this list later, but for now, this is it. I also plan to make a list of food/snacks and drinks that I like in Vancouver later.
