| There is a huge difference. Turkish yogurt is more tasty like old time sour milk (gala oksino) whereas our yogurt is vert tame and almost tasteless. |

@Bananiot, could it be called Yerelmasi (ground apples)?
@ Everybody Else.
The only bamya I can stand to eat is the way my mom makes it. With ground meat, tomatos and tomato sauce. Even then, I still don't absolutely love it. My mom tells me the reason is that many others use big okra to prepare it which makes it a bit tough and slimy. If you use baby okra it comes out perfect.
As far as yogurt isconcerned, I can't believe some of you in the UK don't go to a turkish food store. You should be able to get the best yogurt. Scoop it out like ice cream. Cold ans sour. YUMMMMMMMM! |
The best youghurt is home made, by mrs brother may i add.   |
Mrs 2fan then runs a close second. |

| Yerelmasi, thats it! Has anyone tried it? By the way, Turkish Cypriot yogurt is miles better than Greek Cypriot yogurt. |
I don't think I ever tried it. But my father gets all teary eyed when he hears about them.
I think they are in Patato family. |

| Yerelmasi is probably a tuber, like potatoes. I think it can be eaten raw or fried with eggs. Do you know what little sparrows are? I had them last night, fried with eggs. |

| No, no brother. Those are ambelopoulia and they are a protected species (this makes them sweeter to the teeth of the indulgers). Little sparrows or strouthoutia are ... virtual birds. They are small leafy plants that grow wild this time of the season and people fry them with eggs. Add some lemon and they are mouth watering ... just like wild asparagus and eggs |

| That sounds delish. Bananiot, have you ever tried Meneme? I don't know the greek for it. We sautee tomatos, onions and sometimes spinach then crack some eggs over them. Sometimes a nice dallop of yogurt on top them. Talk about yummy. I'm sure there is a greek equivalent to it. |
