A variety of my sketches and experiences are food-focussed.
This colourful stuff is a toffee paste rolled round a stick, eaten with a splash of lime. This road vendor creates custom-colored sticks for passersby.
Midye dolma might be my favourite road meals from Istanbul. Mussels are full of rice and herbs, topped with lemon.
These deep-fried mussels have been great too, and the marinated chillis on the desk have been spicy!
Fatima makes gozleme, a flatbread full of quite a lot of fillings.
Corn on the cob may be eaten roasted or boiled.The corn is boiled in milk to make it sweeter.
This man serves breakfast breads, and I’ve them with my morning Turkish espresso. (solely the grounds within the backside of the cup stay right here)
Freshly squeezed orange juice all through the day saved us happening scorching days.
And a cup of Turkish espresso began off the day. I switched to tea after that first cup.
In a land the place cats are beloved, (we noticed greater than 100 cats a day and petted an excellent variety of them), I needed to discover the “pet meals road” within the native market. A whole bunch of sorts of meals for cats, canine, and birds to select from. I purchased just a little bag of meals to hold round as treats for all of the cats we met all through the day.
Meals may be my favourite approach to expertise a spot, and I particularly love road meals and little hole-in-the-wall locations.
For those who missed my first publish from Istanbul, it’s right here.
