Parr Photo Art: Food and Drink In Istanbul, Turkey
Now this is just a small selection of the food that you can sample on your stay in Istanbul, would have loved to had the time to have more!
A glass of local wine, always goes down well.
A good way to start an evening meal is with a fresh, seasonal salad, a mezze of coleslaw, stuffed vine leaves (dolma), stuffed peppers (dolma), yoghurt with cucumber and garlic (cac?k), aubergine with tomatoes (patlican salatas?), humus, green beans in olive oil and hot pepper dip (ac?l? ezme) and a basket of fresh bread.
I know that this is not typically Turkish but after a hard day walking around the sights, a fix of coffee, chocolate and caramel was needed!
While you are walking around Istanbul a few hot, roasted, chestnuts would not be a bad thing,
or some dried fruit and nuts,
A simple, traditional Turkish breakfast of fresh bread, soft boiled egg, salami, white cheese, tomato, cucumber, olives, olive paste, jam, honey, chocolate spread. ?A very good way to start the day.
