We always get ours from the Pork Shop opposite Starling in Alasancak as well as their delicious sausages.

Lilli, where do you get it from? Hand baggage seems to be the only option these days..........

Speak to Hamzel (pork shop) on 0533 841 6788 and ask for your preferred joint cut of pork skin on for crackling, he speaks English and knows what is needed to be left on to make crackling. The main problem he has is the bread of free-range pigs he farms are not of the UK type, having very little fat between skin and meat. This needs loads of scoring and heaps of rubbed in salt whacked into a very hot preheated oven.

You would make your own - what?



The main ingredient of 'gunpowder' is saltpetre [potassium nitrate] - only available to be bought by TC's, like pre '74 Turkish Title property!!!

I was in the Pork Shop on Saturday and they had really nice loins of pork with a decent amount of fat and skin. Just ask Hamza, he will provide whatever joints you want although it is true that the legs are generally lacking in fat.
