What is a Turkish breakfast ? I'm guessing not fried eggs, toast and marmalade

N4 does really good menemen  - their's is the one with the eggs poached in the sauce rather than scrambled.  Mezzo does the scrambled sort and they're good - particularly the one with feta in.

thank you for info about menemen which is easily one of the most enjoyable Turkish dishes-ideal for lunch which I've enjoyed frequently in the Press Museum in Sultanahmet    I don;t eat big breakfasts but am sure menemen would be as good for some then    I live in N6   where is the nearest and best menemen please?

I prefer gozleme (the simplest one which has feta cheese and herbs inside).  In Hala, it comes with a small plate of black olives, cucumber and tomatoe slices.  Turkish tea is included.  The whole thing costs £3 or maybe £3.50.  A real bargain and it is brought to your table hot within a minute.
