For those of us who live here full time, and who do not have access to the upscale supermarkets, one of the challenges is trying to turn what you can buy here into the food you loved when you lived in your home country. For example you can make excellent burgers by hand, substitute goat for lamb to make delicious Turkish lamb/goat stew with aubergines and chickpeas, make home made pizza using fresh tomatoes for the sauce, humus is easy as you can easily find chickpeas, limes, garlic and olive oil.
I miss some products from the UK, but with a little inventiveness the produce here can be used to make great meals, 365 days a year.
