As the Feast of Sacrifice approaches in Kayseri, citizens have started to complete their preparations. Citizens who want to make sausages with the sacrificial meat have crowded the spice markets to buy the necessary spices, garlic, and intestines for making sausages.

“We are ready for the Feast of Sacrifice”
Spice seller Ali Eldek, expressing that they are fully prepared for the Feast of Sacrifice, said, “We are ready in every aspect for the Feast of Sacrifice. We are prepared to live our Feast of Sacrifice to the fullest from the heart. We congratulate all our fellow citizens on their holiday. We wish them to enjoy their sacrificial meat, and hope their sacrifices are accepted. We are open 24 hours during the Feast of Sacrifice. The interest of the citizens is exceptional at the moment. However, due to the hot weather, it would be better for our citizens to make sausage filling rather than sausages. Because there may be a risk of spoiling due to the hot weather. For a medium-spicy sausage, our ingredients include 500 grams of sweet peppers, 200 grams of hot peppers, 100 grams of cumin, 100 grams of mixed spices, 170-180 grams of salt, 20 meters of intestines, and when we add 700 grams to 1 kilogram of garlic, it is sufficient for making 10 kilograms of sausage.”

“The price of spices for 10 kilograms of sausage ranges between 300-350 TL”
Eldek, stating that the average price of ingredients for making 10 kilograms of sausage ranges between 300-350 TL, said, “Activity has started. We have no complaints. Our customers know that we guarantee quality. We hope they enjoy eating it. We want our fellow citizens to be a bit more careful and attentive when buying spices, ensuring that the spices for making 10 kilograms of sausage are 25% fatty. Please be careful when buying spices so that our 10 kilograms of meat are not wasted and our sacrificial meat does not go to waste.”
