Imam Bayildi (the imam fainted) is a very popular turkish dish made of eggplant, which is plit down the middle, stuffed with mince meat, coverd with tomato sauce, then put into the oven. basically one might describe it as stuffed egg plant. it goes best with rice and is in fact very similar to another eggplant dish called Karni Yarik (its stomach is slit). So much so that I, who have been half Turkish fro 21 years, still cannot tell the difference between the two because they are prepared so smilarly and taste exactly the same.

YEAH, I KNOW THE BLOODY PICTURE IS MISSING! A POX O'YOUR INSOLENCE, I'M WORKING ON IT!
