One of the things we like best about North Cyprus is the lamb. There is lamb in the South as well but it tends to be less common and considerably more expensive. Lamb kleftiko (baked traditionally in clay in an outdoor oven) is a Sunday special in some places but the everyday meat is more frequently pork.
Not so in the North of course where most people are Muslim. Lamb is easily available. My favourite are the minced lamb sausages known as şeftali in the North and seftalia in the South (where they are most often made of pork). In both cases the initial consonant has an sh sound. J sometimes orders lamb shank or lamb kebab. Today for the first time has lamb iskender - thin slices of kebab lamb in a spicy tomato based sauce served over pita bread which the juices have permeated. As with many Turkish meat dishes, yoghurt on the side.
