Last night we caught a taxi to an unknown part of town for dinner. No one in the resturant spoe English. The menu translatiions were scarce. However my meal of a suasage, a chicken and beef kebab was ok so were the potato wedges. The first time we have had potatoes since we arrived.
The turkish people have mezes before a meal. The bring out breads and small dishes of perhaps a tomatoand cucumber mix, yougurt and a green vegetable, a seaweed dish and maybe one with cheese. These are free and enough to be a meal. Fresh fruit for desert is common. Tonight we had bananas sliced in honey comb. Our mains were red mullet a tiny sprat fish, bass and another type. We went out the back and chose them. The fish market is accross the road so if it wasnt right i guess they would run and buy some more
A man swept the crumbs off the table withh a small silver broom and shovel
A special treat are ripe cherries which Are everywhere. Not as tasty as ours though. Talk to you tomorrow.
