Basturma

That looks absolutely yummy. I have to find out what the spices are though. I'm fine with most spices, but there is one that I absolutely despice ;) . Cumin is actually a good spice, but for me I can only use in almost homeopathic dosages. I ruined an otherwise perfect chili once by putting in two pinches instead of one. Cheers!

Are you trying to tell that you mix your chili pepper wit other things? Shame on you...

Bacon is - so it's not for you...But that basturma looks great, so no need to cry...

Yes it was yummy but it is expensive about 1 Kg ~ 26 USD

Yes, you need meat. But the only flavour should be "burning". :-D

I can confirm: Basturma is nowhere near as good as bacon.

From the description in wikipedia which says that it's normally just made by air drying meat it sounds more like jerky than bacon. Bacon is normally cured[^], meaning that something, traditionally salt, is used to help with the dehydration process.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

No, no - if you add enough chilli, you burn out the "burn" detectors with the first good mouthful - then you can taste the chillies!

Do you have Basturma where you are from too?
Not necessarily - I'd have to taste it to be sure - but we get a lot of "similar" air dried meats with spices.

I know it's good, but still can't stand it when it stands out, which it easily does when used in too great quantities. :D

You're right. I am an idiot. I've eaten basturma in Syria, Jordan and once in the UK.

You sound like the Israeli authorities when I visited Jerusalem. :laugh: I lived in Amman for a couple of years. Visited Syria to see stuff mostly Damascus, eat the food etc, before everything went belly up over there.
