It seems like most of the Mediterranean countries have an anise liqueur and really any of them would work fine in this recipe. Sambuca, Anis, Ricard, Ouzo, Raki, etc. I’m not sure which is the least expensive. I’d...

was cooked perfectly and was delicious. My wife had Rakili Tavuk (chicken in raki sauce) that was just as good. The menu on the web looks a little outdated but the prices are still the same.

Anyone know where I can get good Vietnamese soup in Hamilton? There are many hot and sour soups, some quite different from the other. I’m looking for the version with a good hot kick, cubed tofu and minced pork or chicken...

I’m a fan of Greek ouzo, Italian sambuca and Turkish raki. I live in a part of LA where Armenian goods are easily available and was wondering if — bearing its similar geography in mind — Armenia has its own...

We found ourselves in last call no man’s land the other night, neither in the mood for a Golden Inn Blackfoot Diner call-it-quits kind of meal nor quite ready to go home, hit the raki and nargileh. So we ended up wandering...

I’m looking for a specialty liquor store in St Louis (the closer to the Clayton area the better) with lots of imported stuff. Specifically, I want to buy some Turkish Raki, but Arak will do if I can’t find that. Let...

evening at the former, then had some raki at the turkish place before stumbling to the bar at the latter). The Turkish place, from my recollection, had a long, elegant bar up front. Lots of dark wood, and (if foggy memory...

Of course you are correct. Arak is the Lebanese term for this beverage; Raki is the Turkish version, right? Do you know where I can find some?

If you can get your hand on some tsikoudia, “only” from Crete, you’ll be in for a treat. This is the Cretan "raki" whose bright,lively flavor defies description – no anise flavor at all like Greek Ouzo or...

. If you drive..... just make sure you don’t imbibe too much raki! So far our group includes: Leah Shumin Eric Jenny Susan Moi (that’s me in french!) Remember, you have until June 18th to RSVP. I will make the reservations...

), Gaia sets out to replicate the typical Turkish bar where men (and yes, it’s usually men) spend the evening nibbling mezzes and drinking raki. Since this is New York, Gaia looks a bit smarter than the bars I remember in...

Curious to hear what made the meal so awful, loobcom? Also, AlexJames, regarding the liver, I believe, though I am not certain, that they use Raki when cooking the dish. I think, the sumac is more a coating for the onions and not...

Yeah, well "woof woof!" If you’re doing a mezes party, why not go for authenticity? Either a good Turkish raki or a Greek ouzo. Nothing easier than that. Mixed with ice and water. Limit your guests to how many and be...

raki until he made himself sick, though.
