Erik


"in spring time this is a famous fruit that turkish people likes..called erik...normally you eat with some salt on it..it is hard but not sweet ...like lemon let's say...it is very expensive 5 ytl is 2euros and 50 centimesper kilo  because these are the first eriks of the year..i haven't seen them in Europe i mean i saw the sweet and mature one's but i saw them in some arabic hot countries like Jordan ...

i adore them but no no i musn't buy ..i must wait also the firsts ones are not so delicious.."

I had never heard about this fruit! And what a weird name!

Oh, I miss erik so much! The first year in Ankara I thought they were awful, but by the last year we all had to have them on the hot spring days. There is nothing so refreshing when driving down the Konya highway, windows open, hot air blowing, eating erikler!!!
