Mehso-so

It‘s my pick for this month‘s #foodandlit Turkey. Also no cooked meal but my new favourite snack: salty, roasted chickpeas :) The book is YA and while I love the idea, it felt a bit too preachy for me.

julesG The book was a low pick for me too. Where did you get the chickpeas? Special shop or well-sorted supermarket. I found roasted chickpeas once in Kaufland, but they were not very yummy. 4mo
yourfavouritemixtape @julesG special shop. I did once buy roasted chickpeas in a big supermarked as well but they were fried and reeked of fat 4mo
julesG Thanks. Will investigate. I'm sure we have a Turkish shop somewhere. I've probably passed it a hundred times without realising. 4mo
yourfavouritemixtape @julesG the one in my village is just called „Aktion“. It has all kinds of foreign spices and stuff. 4mo
julesG I could try Action. Thanks. My neighbour told me where the Turkish supermarket is and indeed I've passed it. 4mo
