My son is just back from Turkey and is trying to describe traveling along a country side and stopping for this. I can’t find anything in English, and this might be in my near future. Can anyone help? I have lots of pictures he took of food to share!

When I had suçuk in Turkey, it was a beef sausage somewhat like a mild pepperoni.
Thank you!
I think he said the first word means sausage, the other bread, but the … intriguing part is, he said they would be driving along roads, people would put out some kind of symbol that means they would cook this for you! Not a restaurant, but like an outside grilling situation. Does that sound right?
Can’t say, was only in Istanbul. My friend cooked it in slices as part of a decadent breakfast.
Thank you! I think this was in or around Istanbul. H e said driving there was never
crazier than the usual Meditteranean spots!
Should embarrassed that it made me glad I didn’t know before the fact?
I found this;
Istanbul – 25 must eats

And
Maybe “sujuk”?
Spicy sausage.
It means a sucuk (the spicy dry sausage) sandwich. In Turkish if you tack on the word “ekmek” (bread) to another food word, you have a sandwich. See also “balık ekmek,” a.k.a. the grilled fish sandwiches sold around the Eminönü embankment in Istanbul. The Turkish word for fish is balık.
The Turkish word sucuk is pronounced “su-dzhuk” and is often rendered in English as sujuk. (It is not spelled suçuk, which would be pronounced “su-chuk.”)
By the by, these sausages (usually made with lamb) appear on the menu of every Lebanese and Syrian restaurant I know in the UK - presumably dating from the time of the Turkish empire. Unsurprisingly, the translation from Arabic to English brings slightly different spellings , as these from the three places nearest to me - sujok, sojok, soujoc
Thanks all! What I’m really curious about is what he told me about how he and his new wife (
) went about finding it; driving along roads, seeing some kind of markings in front of a home, and knowing it means you can drop in and they grill some sausage for you.
I understand it is also available in more typical settings.
That will be great!
They are on a message app, so it might be a minute.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Delicious food. Your son is as passionate about food as you do. 
That salad with all that onion would kill me
