as promised, today we're talking about foooood. while we were in turkey i ate a lot of meat. it's everywhere and it's delicious. i had my fill of chicken kababs, meat skwers and wraps. i even had some lamb! the meat was fresh and afforadable so h a happy man. all of the food -- the meat, rice, vegetables and bread reminded him of food that he grew up on (he is persian so the staples are pretty similar).
meat aside, my favorite treat in turkey is somewhat mysterious. it's a cross between a croissant and a bagel -- we called it a baaa-sant (get it!?) but i don't know it's real name. the baaa-sant was buttery, flakey, with little flecks of seseame seeds. it was the perfect breakfast bread and i paired it with turkish cheese (which tasted like feta but not quite as salty) or strawberry jelly.
sooo i guess it's kind of ironic that my favorite food in turkey was something you'd expect to find in paris... but i'm okay with that. and even more excited about our honeymoon in two months!
