The Mystery Turkish Vegetable; looking queeringly like Cucumbers But it's a very commonly used vegetable for meals at home in Turkey.
Something like how "Tau Gay" manage to sneak into almost everydish we eat; Char Kway Teow, Mee Rubus, Prawn Mee, Poh Piah, etc.
The Turks call this "Kabak" and I love it's succulent, eggplant-like texture and pleasantly light taste.
Me and Hobbit always tell our host that such a delicious vegetable is perhaps, non-existant, in tropical Singapore. Cos we've have never tasted or seen this in our whole life! *hecks*
Well, well, I think I found it in SUNNY SINGAPORE!
"Kabak" is a misnomer for ".............."
**Drum Rolls**
"Zuchinni"!
Yes, I need someone to verify this for me because "kabak" and "Zuchinni" looks uncannyingly alike!
It Cost freakin' $4.30 for 3 @ Cold Storage can??? I think you can get 12 peices of "Kabak" in Turkey at that price! (cos it's such a staple food there)
