Migros is one of the most expesive grocery stores in Turkey! And that milk is expiring soon because its suposed to "daily" milk. The regular milk is never stored in fridge

[@bartycrouchjr.8831]

their products are well quality thats because people think its expensive but not. söyler misin hangi urun migrosta pahalı da bimde ucuz, farklı ürünler satıyorlar, o süt günlük süt + cam şişede, sen önemsemeyebilirsin ama pastörize süt tercih etmeyenler, plastik ambalaj tercih etmeyenler var, bimde böyle bir opsiyon var mı?

migros literally is the same as any other market. If you want to eat cheap ass store products then you can go elsewhere

[@louptrjack7354]

Thats awesome

Hey guys, love your works and I do enjoy watching them. let me explain what is some of the items that you don't know what it is. 1: Milk that you get is daily milk, actually they are not daily but sort of fresh but it's called daily milk so it has richer flavor in it. 2: That milk bottles don't have deposit don't worry. 3: Closest taste to that cheese you can find when you get back to your country is Feta cheese, but it has only available 4: Kaymak is Milk Fat(literally), They sell excess milk fat of skim milk :) in other countries people make butter out of kaymak. (so if you miss that one day, you can buy raw milk and after you boiled raw milk, you can collect the kaymak on milk.) but I think you guys learn a lot in turkey about our culture and community, most of the information that you give is perfectly right! If you come back again let me know, I would love to host u guys!. Best wishes...

​@@hgn1832 Ne var ki video Amerika’da değil Türkiye’de çekilmiş. Ne Feta ne Yunan, o peynirin Türkiye’de adı Beyaz Peynir. Amerikalıların Amerika’da ne dedikleri benim açımdan bir referans teşkil etmez bu konuda. 11 buçuk sene orada yaşadım neye ne dediklerini az çok bilirim. Video Amerika veya Yunanistan’da çekilmiş olsaydı herhangi bir yorumda bulunmazdım. Türkiye’den Türkiye’yi tanıtıyorsa birisi, doğru terminolojiyi kullanması gerekir bence.

Evet Amerika’daki durumu çok iyi biliyorum. İsviçre peyniri dedikleri olayı gerçek bir İsviçreli yese muhtemelen gülme krizine felan girer. Arkadaşların ülkemizede bulundukları süre zarfında doğru terimleri kullanmalarını teşvik etmek için yapılmış bir yorum benimkisi. Her Yunan yoğurdu yada Yunan peyniri dediklerinde kendimizi nasıl hissettiğimiz ile empati kursunlar diye de Kanada Harley Davidson metaforunu seçtim. Way Away’in kankaları var Chase the Plate. Onlar mesala bu kunularda çok hassaslar. Baya araştırıp öğrenip doğru terimleri kullanıyorlar videolar esnasında.

That milk you looked that expires early is a daily milk. It is supposed to expire early. It is pasteurized. When it says "Taze günlük süt" it means that it will expire in a few days, others UHT (ultra high temperature) will last longer

[@ebeguveci5868]

Hey guys! If you will be around next week and wanna check out one of the local markets, there is one open on Thursdays and not so far from Kadikoy(~30 mins). You can take a blue minibus from Kadikoy to get there. It is in Kucukyali area and its like farmer's market. You can find seasonal vegetables and fruits for a better price and it could be a good and colourful experience. It must be like 3 Lira per person to get there and you can say to driver that you are going to "kucukyali pazarı". Have a great time in Istanbul! 🖐

About expire dates of milk, there is 2 types of milk in shops which are "günlük süt" and "uzun ömürlü süt". "Günlük" means daily and it has less chemicals in it which is the reason why it cant last long but its more natural. Uzun ömürlü means long lasting and as you can guess it can last long but it is less natural naturally.

[@shake544]

i guess the difference is the heat treatment (pasteurization or something like that) at a higher temperature, so that variety can be stored in room temperature (also it tastes sweeter) and the other more regular one goes through the normal process
