Again I'd like to thank the brilliant Istanbul Eats for turning me onto this place.
I like to take every opportunity to champion offal. I think eating the whole animal (in one sitting if I can) is crucial in limiting waste and the damage caused by mass farming. I also think it's more respectful. Imagine my joy then when I found out about kokorec an enormous sausage stuffed with lamb fat and sweetbreads inside a thick outer casing of wound sheep's intestines. Imagine my even greater joy when this - admittedly slightly unappetising sounding dish - turned out to be absolutely delicious.
