Cin biber means "sweet bell pepper" and the demre sivrisi is an ornamental non edible pepper with long green leaves and vibrant pink peppers.
Just kidding. I have no clue.

[LUCKYDOG]

Biber is pepper I believe Could Cin be a color?

such as Kırmızı Biber (Red Pepper)or Acı Biber (Hot Pepper)

and when I looked up Demre Sivrisi I get (pepper) Capsicum annuum L.

Just from what I looked up aot of Turkish reference that I couldnt read

Couldnt you have him translate for you?

I added sesame seeds to a turkey once. Big Bird was happy, but not Oscar the Grouch.

[cheezydemon]

Why wasn't oscar happy? I thought he'd love to see big bird roasted.
