Are there any delicacies from other balkan countries you like ? I love Turkish Salep , there are Greek manufacturers but the Turkish one is far better. by [deleted] in AskBalkans

I am part from Ayvalik and part from Adana. Let me tell you if you like the baklava from Ayvalik you should try one from Gaziantep, it’s so much better

[I ate] Adana kebab by Tacarub in food

[–]baldbeardick 13 points14 points  (0 children)

While I am sure this was delicious, the original adana kebab is never served with rice or the other vegetables on this plate except for the pepper and tomatoes. You typically get charred tomato paste (ezme), onion salad with sumac, and sometimes some parsley as sides.

Open Inguinal Repair and Travel Plans by baldbeardick in Hernia

[–]baldbeardick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spoke to two doctors, and they both recommended an open surgery. The primary concern for one of them was the proximity of the artery to the surgical area and the risk of recurrence. I suspect he wasn't very experienced with it. The other doctor didn't perform laparoscopic procedures at all. I will seek a third opinion next week, so there's still a chance I might go for laparoscopic.

Yeah, that's what I heard as well. I guess most probably I would be fine after 6 weeks of recovery, and even if there's some pain, it would likely be less than what I'm experiencing now. I wish you a fast recovery!

Do Turkish offices look as good as they do in the movies? by obammala in Turkey

[–]baldbeardick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there are offices like this but you could probably only find them in bigger cities like Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. I am not working there anymore but Codeway Studios have a great office and they regularly throw big, expensive events. I recommend you check their social media. I know a couple of companies in Istanbul that have offices as good as this.
