PLAIN SAUSAGE

Sosisli Sade is one of the most affordable items on the menu and one of the oldest street foods there is. Rather than cooking the sausage dry, we heat it in Istanbul-style tomato sauce — and that is the whole point.

That sauce is what separates this from a sausage with ketchup on it. The sweet, lightly spiced tomato works into the sausage and onto the bread. Anyone who grew up around Istanbul büfe counters will recognise the taste immediately.

It is for when you want something fast, cheap and familiar. If you want cheese there is the kaşar version, and if you want pickles and salad there is the goralı. The plain one is not lacking anything on its own.
