Diet and Health
Sleymanli: Mehmet avu's wife offers us Kahvalt of yourt, bread, eggs fried with 'szgt' (preserved meat from a ram which has died), and fresh cucumbers from
their 'bostanlk'.
We were given new potatos, and corn on the cob, to bring away - each growing in the Sleymanli 'bostanlk'. Earlier we had been brought 'kabak' by Mehmet, and
green beans, and onions. Also there are chick peas in abundance which they eat raw or dried, spanak, pancar, (dried for the winter), tomatoes, {PS...?:
patlcan}, and cucumbers - all growing in their 'bostanlk' - which gives quite a good range of vegetables in their diet - plus 'karpuz' and 'kavun'
when ready.
k<food, Suleymanli>
